WHY? HOW MUCH? What is a pond? A small lake, a big pool, a water body in a wetland? Does this speciï¬c name âpondâ describe a particular type of water body? The answer is undoubtedly aï¬rmative. As long ago as the beginning of the last century, Forel (1904) noted that ponds are ecologically diï¬erent from larger water bodies, describing them as lakes where the deep aphotic zone was missing. Since Forelâs early comments many other deï¬nitions of what constitutes a pond have been proposed, linked to various aspects of their size, depth, type of water supply, use, geographical location, formation, and water quality (see, for example, the review of Jammes
