<p><span>Records of </span>water<span> </span>levels<span> </span>in<span> limesink ponds </span>in<span> </span>southwestern<span> </span>Georgia<span> and of </span>water<span>‐table </span>levels<span> </span>in<span> the vicinity of these ponds are used to demonstrate: (1) some ponds with highly impermeable beds are virtually unaffected by </span>water<span>‐table </span>levels<span>, except when </span>water<span>‐table </span>levels<span> are above the rim of the impervious materials; (2) interchange of </span>water<span> between </span>pond<span> and </span>water<span> table occurs when beds are relatively permeable. Three phases </span>in<span> the </span>relation<span> between </span>pond<span> </span>level<span> and </span>water<span>‐table </span>level<span> are recognized: (1) </span>water<span>‐table </span>level<span> higher than </span>pond<span> </span>level<span> causing </span>ground<span>‐</span>water<span> flow into the </span>pond<span>; (2) </span>ground<span>‐</span>water<span> </span>level<span> below </span>pond<span> </span>level<span> but </span>in<span> direct contact with it and measurably controlling rate of seepage from the </span>pond<span>; (3) </span>ground<span>‐</span>water<span> </span>level<span> below </span>pond<span> </span>level<span> but not </span>in<span> direct contact with it and not appreciably controlling rate of seepage from the </span>pond<span>. </span>In<span> phase (3) the </span>water<span> table has a perceptible mound at a point underneath the </span>pond<span>. </span></p>
