Well, no, it wouldn't be using the emergency spillway all the time.... normally 90-95% of the time the overflow has handled the amount of water just fine, other than needing a concrete tailrace. However, we just went on record as having the wettest February ever recorded... so this was unusual for our area/timeframe.
I agree with that. My seasonal springs were literally spouting water! But you have to prepare for the worst thing that you expect during the time you'll have the pond.
