Classification of ponds based on source of water

Diversion ponds - Rosary system
These ponds are built one after another in a string. In this system all the ponds drain into each other and must be managed as if they were one pond. Therefore if the first pond in the series is full of predators which must be poisoned, all the other ponds in the system have to be harvested and drained before the first pond can be poisoned and drained. It is cheap and easy to build.
