I am not sure but i have a floating chlorine dispenser device and for some strange reason my pond was clear for a whle but now is a very misty white-green-brown (the green-brown is subtle)..The pond is dark to teh point where i cant see to the bottom anymore. Is this caused by too much chlorine or not enough?

What happens if a pond has too much chlorine? Does it change color?
Its a self-made pond that needs to remain clear to the bottom. Everything is man-made about it and has no contact to surrounding soil. Nor is their plants or fish living in it. Just scenery.

The geology of the area around the house is such that water can only be found in fissures in the rocks, making water very difficult to find in the neighborhood. The house in question that I am interested has a seasonal pond and a well that gets 40 gpm. I don’t know the level of the surface water in the well yet or it’s exact location in relation to the seasonal pond and creek. There is a concrete canal nearby, but I am sure that does not allow much water to permeate into the ground.

How much would pond lining, pump, filter, plants, etc. cost in all?

I need help with this question: How do organism in a pond water obtain nutrients?
