It is the most common method of fish culture. In this case water is maintained in an enclosed area by artificial construction of dike/bund, where aquatic animals are stocked and grown. Are usually filled by rain, canal water and by man made bores. They differ widely in shape, size, topography, water and soil qualities. Inside the this can be a monoculture
or polyculture.

Ponds
Kinds of Ponds (5)
Types of Ponds (3)
Kinds of Pond According to water source (4)
Groundwater
Rainfed ponds
Fed from a water body
Pump-fed ponds
Two types of groundwater ponds
Spring water ponds and seepage ponds
Type of pond where the water are
supplied from a spring either in the
pond or very close to it.
Spring-water ponds
kind of pond that are supplied from the water-table by seepage into the pond.
Seepage ponds
Kind of bond according to water source that has two types which are spring-water ponds and seepage ponds
Groundwater
Kind of pond where water are supplied from rainfall and surface runoff. No water is supplied during the dry season. These ponds are often small depressions in impermeable soil, with a dike built at the lower sideto retain more water.
Rain-fed ponds
Kinds of Pond
According to the means of
drainage (3)
Undrainable ponds
Drainable ponds
Pump-drained ponds
Kind of pond that cannot be drained by gravity. They are generally fed by groundwater and/or surface runoff, and their water level may vary seasonally.
Undrainable ponds
Ponds that are set higher than the level to which the water is drained and can easily be drained by
gravity.
Drainable ponds
These ponds may be drainable by
gravity to a certain level,
and then the water has
to be pumped out.
Pump-drained ponds
Kind of pond where water are normally higher than the water
level and can be supplied from a well, spring, lake, reservoir or irrigation canal, by pumping.
Pump-fed ponds
Kinds of Pond
According to the construction
materials (3)
Earthen ponds
Walled ponds
Lined ponds
Ponds that are entirely constructed from soil materials. They are the most common pond.
Earthen Ponds
Ponds that are usually surrounded by blocks, brick or concrete walls. Sometimes wooden planking or corrugated metal is used.
Walled ponds
Ponds that are earthen ponds
lined with an impervious material
such as a plastic or rubber sheet.

According to the construction
method (3)
Dug-out ponds
Embankment ponds
Cut-and-fill ponds
Kind of pond that are constructed by excavating soil from an area to form a hole which is then filled with water. They are usually undrainable and fed by rainfall, surface runoff or
groundwater.
Dug-out ponds
Ponds that are formed without
excavation by building one or more dikes above ground level to impound water. They are usually drainable and fed by gravity flow of water or by pumping.
Embankment ponds
Ponds that are built by a mix of
excavation and embankment on sloping ground. They are usually drainable, and water, which is impounded within the dikes, is fed by gravity or by pumping.
