No, a retention pond is not the same as a lake. A retention pond is a man-made structure designed to manage stormwater runoff and reduce flooding by holding water temporarily, while a lake is a natural or large artificial body of water that usually has a more stable water level and ecosystem. Retention ponds typically have less biodiversity and are often part of a drainage system, whereas lakes can support a wider range of wildlife and recreational activities.
