Driving down the highway a few weeks ago I noticed all the ponds close to the road were full because its been so wet this year and had some green slime on them.A week or so later I passed the same pond close to the road and it was empty??About 40 miles away a few days later I noticed another pond that was about the same size,empty?There was no damage to the dam,it was like it was drained out of the bottom of the pond,like it has a drain in the bottom of it.One was close to Richmond,Mo and the other was close to another town,maybe Higginsville,Mo.I went by the same pond at Richmond yesterday and its was dry as a bone with grass growing down the inside of the dam as far as I could see.There doesnt seem to be any irrigation going on in those places.Surely cities dont use pond water,do they?Other towns have water treatment plants,but even smaller towns have lakes compared to those ponds.No factories close either.Both ponds are away from anything except a field of beans.I dont understand.
