Charlie, I don’t know where your lake front property is but if you have access to some Del Rio Clay you could have that hauled in and rolled out to seal the bottom. You may also try doing a small dye trace from your water feature to your well, if you have one, and determine if there is a hydraulic connection.

It has gone from 6 acres to about 2. We have dumped 35 dump trucks of rock and caliche and four loads of cement into the thing and it accomplished nothing. I think there is a cave, crack or sink hole. We have been working on this for weeks and nothing seems to work. It is a series of caves I am sure that opened up recently. We have had no rain etc. The ground is tinder dry. No rain since January. When it does rain two or three inches there is a dry weather creek next to my house that runs toward the lake but disappears before it reaches it all the water goes underground. I am wonder if the cavers could use a magnetometer to find the holes? That might at least put us on a track toward repairing the lake. We have to do all this on our dime and it is getting prohibitive. -- Charlie Loving ***This is an external email - beware links & attachments from unknown senders***
