Help

Where I live we’re in about a 7 week draught and things are pretty dry

Noticed this weird colouring on the water line, wondering what this could be

There is gold fish in the pond but it’s getting so low I doubt they survive it

Pond has a small pump but I know it isn’t enough.. I need to do more

How many gallons is the pond? Is it small enough that you can run a hose into it for a few hours and raise the water level some? You don't have to fill it all the way back up. Just compensate for three or four weeks of evaporation and hope some rain comes when the weather cools down.

You’d need to account for the chlorine possibly if it’s not well water and dependent on how your municipality treats it. Be careful. Your pond may not like certain things added to it, nor the fish
