You could try the old 5g bucket method. Time how long it takes to fill a 5g bucket then time and fill the pond and do the math. It's not 100% but it is a great estimate.

I know I get 5GPM out of my hose, but it will vary depending on your water pressure, your plumbing and the hose you are using.

Give me some dimensions like top and bottom lengths and widths and the depth and I can get it pretty close
