Be careful. The evaporation rate you need is not for 7400 mg/l, but for whatever the saturation value of the pond is. As the water evaporates the TDS will increase. Eventually, the incoming flow will have a low TDS compared to the pond and the dilution achieved by the incoming flow will be negligible. The likely final concentration will be somewhere around 300,000 mg/l, approximately the saturation point of NaCl.
