This refers to a body of water naturally or artificially confined and usually smaller than a lake.

Bodies of water that are confined by land on all sides and are typically smaller than a lake are ponds. This size and confinement define a pond, and it can be natural or artificially created, like a garden pond or a stock pond. Ponds tend to be shallow and relatively still, which helps light reach the bottom and supports a variety of aquatic plants and animals. This differs from a pool, which is a human-made basin primarily for swimming and recreation. A river is a flowing watercourse, usually larger and longer than a pond, with movement downstream. An arroyo is a dry or intermittently water-filled channel in arid regions, not a standing body of water.
