pondless
Lacking standing water
Pondless describes something that lacks a pond, typically used for landscape features or water systems.
A pondless waterfall or pondless fountain recirculates water from a hidden underground reservoir rather than collecting it in a visible basin—offering the sound of moving water without the maintenance or safety concerns of an open pond.
