Hmmmm… here is a problem I did not anticipate.
Every time I empty the main pond hole of water, (the actual hole under the liner) water returns within an hour or two. I’ve done it 4 times now, and it keeps filling back up with water.
Obviously there is water underground infiltrating into the pond hole, and/or the water table itself is above the bottom of the hole. It is not coming from either of the other holes because they both have the same amount of water in them as they did this morning.
I have “watered” the blueberry patch and hazelnut tree a lot with the water that I have been cleaning the filter with… and we also had lots of water flying around outside the liners yesterday as I tested the pump. So it is quite possible that the ground around the pond is simply well saturated.
I think I am going to have to just keep removing the water (and putting it into the sewer) until it does not refill. We have a week of hot weather coming. Surely that will be enough time for everything to dry out completely.
Otherwise I might run into some issues if the rains return before I can anchor down the pond liner with gravel and get the plumbing in!
How is time already running short!?
Never underestimate the ability of water to find a place where it is not wanted. 😆

Hi, it’s the team at EDF Action Votes.
Trump’s administration just ordered NASA to shut down two crucial satellites
that track carbon emissions and monitor vegetation health worldwide.
One would even be destroyed, burning up in Earth’s atmosphere — erasing decades of critical climate data.
This is deliberate sabotage of science,
and it puts every American at risk.
Without these satellites, we’ll be flying blind in the fight against climate change.

I just gave to EDF Action Votes!
EDF Action votes is doing everything they can to elect environmental champions who will take climate action.

I have a question about the following:
Space-X satellites are relatively low orbit - they go around the world, their radio/signal footprint on the ground goes around the world with them.
So how does a single country, the US, issue "license" for radio spectrum that apply outside of the US geographic borders?
"SpaceX buys wireless spectrum from EchoStar in $17 billion deal"

A good news story about the great gender preference divide.
After years of declining sex ratios that saw increases in female infanticide and missing girls, it seems there's a change.
'Globally, among babies born in 2000, a staggering 1.6m girls were missing from the number you would expect, given the natural sex ratio at birth. This year that number is likely to be 200,000—and it is still falling.'
Beautiful hope.

The stunning decline of the preference for having boys
Millions of girls were aborted for being girls. Now parents often lean towards them
