Farm Pond :
There is very little qualitative difference between a pond/ tank, which usually serves the population of a village, and farm pond, which serves an
individual agricultural field. Farms ponds greatly vary in size depending upon the rainfall. These have only a few metres of length and width and
are built across the flow path of natural drainage channels. Surplus water from one pond spills over to a lower pond. In some cases a series of farm
ponds are built on one single stream. Each pond caters to the irrigation needs of one farm and also augments ground water recharge.
