It is a pond that is designed, at a minimum, to retain and slow the flow of stormwater runoff so that solid pollutants, including sediments and trash, have an opportunity to settle out of the water column. Many are also designed such that the stormwater that is retained can infiltrate into the ground or pass through a wetland so chemical contaminants can be filtered out of the water, including metals, pesticides, and nutrients.

Drainage ditches are a method of controlling runoff from streets and highways where curbs and storm drains are not used. They are most often a shallow trough dug in the ground beside and parallel to the road surface. They collect runoff from the road and direct it either to a retention pond or a natural body of water.

Rainfall can increase the water level of a pond, making it deeper. Heavy and prolonged rainfall can lead to runoff, which can fill up the pond quickly.
When runoff drains into a basin that has a rounded depression and maintains a stable amount of surface water on a daily basis, it becomes a pond. Pond typically refers to a small body of still water that is surrounded by land.
Run off is where, say you lived on a farm and you have a little steep hill that leads to a pond. If you watered your plants some of the water you used would 'run off' down the hill and into the pond.
If your pond isn't at least 20 ft. deep, at some point. It is almost a guarantee that the pond will need chemicals to help keep it clean. Shallow water, because of heat gain and lack of circulation and aeration and runoff and the fill around the pond; even the vegetation and animals can lead to problems.
Excavated pond. or "dug pond". They are harder to build because of earth removal. They are more resistant to collapse by erosion - no dam.
Solution of Pond Water= Oxygen + Water
Pond water is not a pure substance.
Physical, but the pond does not chemically change - you still have water and pond goo, only the water has evaporated.
