pOnd allows users to import their 2D pond design drawings and then perform a cross section to compare the existing and proposed surfaces. This tool is especially helpful when a pond has a slope on one side and a depression on the other. The resulting graph shows the differences in surface levels that can be used to determine how much fill or soil will need to be moved.

The pond ecosystem is a complex interplay between water, plants, animals and bacteria. All elements play a part in maintaining the balance of nutrients. Fish, plants and other organisms release waste into the water which contains nutrients that plants can absorb. As these organisms die, their remains decay in the water and the dissolved nutrients are recycled back to the plant population.

A pond's habitat can change with the seasons. In winter, a pond may be frozen and covered with snow. In the spring, it may be thawed and full of water, allowing aquatic plants to flourish. In summer, it may become a bog or swamp. The pond's environment is also influenced by the temperature of the water, the sun's intensity, and the amount of rainwater that flows into it.

Pond wildlife includes amphibians like newts and toads, frogs and tadpoles, birds such as herons and ducks and mammals like squirrels and mice. Small ponds can even support herds of fish and other animals. There are also many invertebrates including snails and water fleas, some herbivorous, others carnivorous. Bacteria and other scavengers break down decaying plants and animals, recycling the elemental nutrients into the pond's food web.
