freshwater pond
Still inland water
A freshwater pond is a small, still body of water fed by rain, springs, or streams rather than saltwater.
Ponds are shallower than lakes, allowing sunlight to reach the bottom and support plant growth throughout.
They serve as habitats for fish, frogs, insects, and waterfowl: The freshwater pond behind the barn was thick with cattails and dragonflies.
