In today’s episode, we’re diving into the science of hydrology and how it affects the health and stability of your pond. Ever wondered if your pond is leaking, or why you’re seeing more green water and oil slicks on the surface? We’ll explore how water loss, heat, and environmental factors impact your pond, and what you can do to manage it.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

  • Hydrology and Water Loss: Is your pond losing water faster than it should? 
  • Heat and Water Energy: Hot water means more energy in the pond—learn how this impacts water quality, fish, and plankton growth.
  • Green Water and Oil Slicks: What causes these troubling pond issues.
  • Drought: How dry spells and water shortages can stress your pond and its ecosystem.

If you’re dealing with murky water or just want to understand the science behind your pond’s water balance, this episode is for you. Tune in and learn how to keep your pond healthy, efficient, and thriving—even when the heat is on.
