Then it starts all over again with the “system” lowering our finally full, or half full ponds again. They need a system that lowers only the ponds that are actually full, but I guess that would mean boots on the ground checking each pond rather than the automated system they use everywhere whether it’s needed or not.
Also, I agree about the search feature here. It sucks.

If you ever have an opportunity to attend a presentation by the Water Management Department. …GO! It is so interesting how they manage water movement here.
The maps clearly identify 3 types of ponds.
1. Ponds adjacent to nature preserves. They leave these ponds alone.
2. Ponds that are lined. These ponds might be stocked for fishing, and water moves in and out as needed. Water is moved from pond to pond.From here they flood golf courses when necessary.
3. Unlined ponds. This is the type you are referencing. These ponds will go completely dry at times. If you are living near an unlined pond, it will always be that way. Your options are to either live with it , as is, or move. It will have water part of the year…like now
