In certain circumstances it may be desirable to shape the ground to allow surface water to collect in a water storage pond on site. This concept of retaining surface water run-off by reducing the peak water impact on the storm sewer capacity and by providing an attractive site feature, may be economical on large sites. It may also be possible to use a less expensive underground sewer system with fewer or smaller diameter pipes because the peak water impact will be collected by the retention pond instead of the sewer system. 2, record 5, English, - retention%20pond

The water lily pond is built to house beautiful water lilies (hardy + tropical), marginal plants and lotus. This is a complete world with 1,000's of plants to choose from. These ponds require a minimum of 4 - 6 hours of sunlight, usually, in order for the majority of plants to thrive (shade or partial shade is fine for fish and fountains). Raccoons can eat your water lilies. Prevention would be to build the sides of the pond quite steep and keep the plants deep enough to prevent easy wading. 1, record 6, English, - water%20lily%20pond
