Etymology
The term 'ponded' stems from the noun 'pond', which dates back to Middle English 'ponde', derived from Old English 'pund', which means 'a small body of still water'. The transition from a noun to a verb form allows us to describe the action of making such a body of water. In ecological terms, ponding can be important for biodiversity as it provides habitats for various organisms. The concept of ponding has evolved over time from its practical uses in agriculture and irrigation to more modern applications in landscape architecture and environmental conservation.
