Water aeration is the process of increasing or maintaining the oxygen saturation of water in both natural and artificial environments.

Aeration techniques are commonly used in pond, lake, and reservoir management to address low oxygen levels or algal blooms.

Marine biology is the scientific study of the biology of marine life, organisms in the sea.

Given that in biology many phyla, families and genera have some species that live in the sea and others that live on land, marine biology classifies species based on the environment rather than on taxonomy.

A pond is a small, still, land-based body of water formed by pooling inside a depression, either naturally or artificially.

A pond is smaller than a lake and there are no official criteria distinguishing the two, although defining a pond to be less than in area, less than in depth and with less than 30% with emergent vegetation helps in distinguishing the ecology of ponds from those of lakes and wetlands.

Ponds can be created by a wide variety of natural processes (e.g. on floodplains as cutoff river channels, by glacial processes, by peatland formation, in coastal dune systems, by beavers), or they can simply be isolated depressions (such as a kettle hole, vernal pool, prairie pothole, or simply natural undulations in undrained land) filled by runoff, groundwater, or precipitation, or all three of these.

They can be further divided into four zones: vegetation zone, open water, bottom mud and surface film.

The size and depth of ponds often varies greatly with the time of year; many ponds are produced by spring flooding from rivers.

Ponds may be freshwater or brackish in nature.

'Ponds' consisting of saltwater, with a direct connection to the sea to maintain full salinity, are normally regarded as part of the marine environment.

These bodies of water do not support fresh or brackish water-based organisms, and are not considered to be ponds.

A fountain, from the Latin "fons" (genitive "fontis"), meaning source or spring, is a decorative reservoir used for discharging water.

It is also a structure that jets water into the air for a decorative or dramatic effect.

Ice is water that is frozen into a solid state, typically forming at or below temperatures of 0 °C, 32 °F, or 273.15 K.

As a naturally occurring crystalline inorganic solid with an ordered structure, ice is considered to be a mineral.

Depending on the presence of impurities such as particles of soil or bubbles of air, it can appear transparent or a more or less opaque bluish-white color.
