standing water
Motionless collected liquid
Standing water is water that has accumulated and remains stationary, neither flowing nor draining away.
It collects in puddles, ditches, unused containers, or low-lying areas after rain.
Standing water is often discussed as a breeding ground for mosquitoes or a sign of drainage problems: The standing water in the backyard attracted pests.
