Well, this would depend on several factors:

  1. Location- warmer region would dry up faster. Shelter/surrounding vegetation would also affect the evaporation rate
  2. Volume- the deeper the pond the less likely it will dry up- the greater the surface area the more likely it will. A shallow puddle and a narrow tube filled with the same volume of water would not dry up at the same rate- the puddle would first
  3. Time of year- summer is when the pond will most likely dry up. Temporary ponds dry up in the summer and fill up again in the autumn/winter.

Taking the above into account, I would say an average temporary pond (most ponds don't dry up completely anyway) would take a few weeks, at its peak rate, to dry up. However, whenever there is hot weather the pond water will begin to evaporate, but this evaporation is not consistent- but rather the rate increases the closer you get to the middle of summer.

Hope this helps! :)

If there's one lily pad in a pond and it doubles its size each day and it takes 30 days for the pond to fill up how long will it take for two lily pads to fill up the pond?

The humorous answer is to say "there aren't two lily pads in the pond, only one." The mathematical answer is that identical lily pads would take 29 days to fill the pond (not 15), because after the first day, a single lily pad would be twice its size, or the same size as the set of two would be to start out.

Why do ponds dry up in Summer?

Ponds are usually formed in hollows where rain water gathers. There is no stream in or out, so the water level depends on whether it has been wet or dry for sometime previously. Obviously, if it hasn't rained for a long time, the water level will drop and the pond dry out!
