The common's ponds form one of the most important sites in the county for freshwater invertebrates.

These ponds form a vital buffer zone between terrestrial and marine ecosystems.

The rain had fallen throughout the night, and the largest pond, as usual, had formed around the Stores.

To provide it with fresh water it may have been dammed, hence a lake or pond would have formed.

Often, artificial ponds and lakes also form part of a flood detention system.

When that happened a rock wall was formed called a moraine, a natural dam behind which a lake or pond can form.

Many ponds formed along the stream over time, among which the Mellaerts Ponds still exist.

Above the dam a pleasant little pond had formed, partially shaded by standing trees.

A pond and waterfall form an interesting feature, containing fish, terrapins and whistling ducks.

The five largest ponds are man-made, formed for fish-production in the 17th-century.
