RICHARDSON, TX, UNITED STATES, September 16, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Natural Waterscapes LLC, a science-based pond and lake management company, is inviting pond owners, lake managers, and land stewards to use MyPond™, a web app that turns scattered observations about a pond into a single, organized picture of how that waterbody works. MyPond is available now at mypond.naturalwaterscapes.com and is free for up to three ponds, with no credit card required.— Sarah Parvin, Slab Lab Pond Owner
Most pond problems, from algae blooms and muck buildup to murky water and water loss, are symptoms of a larger system: the shape and depth of the basin, the soils underneath it, and the chemistry of the water. MyPond is designed to put that whole system in front of the user so decisions are based on data rather than guesswork.
What MyPond does
• Map your shoreline. Draw the pond boundary directly on satellite imagery, with the option to browse historical aerial imagery releases to find a sharper or seasonally better capture.
• Know your depth. Build a bathymetric profile and calculate pond volume, the foundation for correctly sizing any treatment.
• Understand your soil. MyPond automatically pulls USDA soil information for the pond's location.
• Track water quality. Log dissolved oxygen, pH, phosphorus, and other readings over time.
• Keep a photo record. Organize photos by shoreline, water clarity, algae and weeds, vegetation, wildlife, equipment, and before-and-after comparisons.
• Troubleshoot problems. Answer a few questions about algae, muck, murky water, or water loss and receive a treatment plan sized to the pond.
• Test and get help. Order an express-shipped sampling kit for full professional lab analysis, log the results in MyPond to unlock treatment recommendations, and reach live pond experts by phone or chat during business hours.
• Track fish growth. Record catches of tagged fish and follow a growth timeline showing changes in length, weight, and relative weight over time.
• Share and print. Share pond data and print pond maps for contractors, family members, or land managers.
MyPond also connects to the Natural Waterscapes Turnover Risk Map. Users who need more capacity can upgrade to paid MyPond Plus and Professional plans.
"For nearly 30 years in the field, I have seen pond owners spend money treating symptoms because nobody had shown them how their pond actually works. MyPond puts the science that hydrologists use, shoreline, depth, volume, soils, and water chemistry, into the hands of anyone who owns or manages a pond, and it is free to start," said Jon Klotz, President, Founder, and Principal Hydrologist of Natural Waterscapes.
Slab Lab pond owner Sarah Parvin, known to her 136,000 Facebook followers as "The Closer," uses MyPond at the Slab Lab, the Alabama pond where she and her father have spent seven years working to grow trophy coppernose bluegill. MyPond's growth timeline recently documented a tagged largemouth bass, "Lucky Gal," gaining 11 ounces and an inch in length in a little over two months, with relative weight improving from 94.1% to 112.6%.
"I love data because it takes a very important snapshot in real time," said Parvin. "You have to manage the conditions that allow this type of growth. That's the trick and the skill. MyPond puts the numbers in front of me so I can see whether my pond is keeping up with what my fish need."
Who MyPond is for
• Rural landowners, farmers, and ranchers managing stock ponds, irrigation ponds, and recreational ponds.
• Anglers and wildlife enthusiasts who want healthier fish habitat and clearer records of changes over time.
• Pond and lake professionals who need organized, shareable data on the waterbodies they manage.
