I’d actually really like to know as well so I’m not an idiot. My grandpa had a few ponds, but by the time I was able to actually show an interest in it he was too sickly to teach me. I know he used to stock them at some point in time. But Im curious on why you couldn’t just pump the pond, to combat whatever drought there may or may not be.

This is his chance to educate, but he won't come back and do it. They drain the ponds annually to plant rice or sorghum. Then the crawfish burrow.
So to sum it up, on a non-drought year:
1. Drain
2. Plant
3. ?????
4. Profit

well to start with you need a good source of water nearby to use for that. you cannot use tap water or the chemicals in it kills the crawfish.
so its not as simple as just having city water pump itself in as needed, you need a natural water source like well water or a nearby canal to get your water
