pond water

Still, algae-rich liquid

Pond water is the water found in a pond—a small, still body of fresh water.

The term often implies murky, stagnant water containing algae, microorganisms, and organic debris.

It appears in contexts ranging from biology class microscope slides to insults about unpalatable drinks: This coffee tastes like pond water.
