Hope the dam doesn't erode and break. Fortunately the pond at the house has a "spillway" that is a few inches lower than the dam. We have a 4" line in it but in periods of heavy rain it can gently go over the top. It was built so horses and cows could just walk right in the pond, kind of like a swimming/wading pool.
