We live in Kansas City that's in eastern Kansas. There is a drainage ditch on side of property,in I neighbors yard, there are cattails, crawdads, frogs etc. The pool has been in for 3 summers now. This year our temps have been in the 100s without rain, grass is brittle and effecting trees now. Last year I noticed half dollar size hole in yard, 2 are right beside pool. We have cracks all over our acre of property, some big enough to put hand down into. The pool floor is getting real bad, which makes it hard to vac. At times you can feel the sand collapse.
