Maybe it was water!! .... Thank You for that answer.

The plan is to more slope the sides, and to place flat flag stones along the center bottom length. The pond bottom is wide and flat, which I think was most of the trouble. I will also look into the release valve, looks like a simple, excellent precaution .... that is an excellent link direct. Thanks! (FYI where I am living was wetlands before development .... mostly swampy)

The part I most regret is that I originally planned on moving them inside for this winter, as the liner this past year was the "trial run" to see if I liked the shape, etc. and to find any flaws before I make the big, permanent liner plunge.

See what I mean below ... swamp!
