The place is saturated

The melting snow has really saturated the ground.  In the three years that I’ve owned it I’ve never seen the ground so saturated.  The ponds are all handling it ok, even though none of them were constructed with proper drain pipes and even more problematic overflows.  The picture below is the pond over by the barn.  The overflow is the only way for the water to escape, and it isn’t really low enough because you can see that there is water topping part of the dam…not good.
