No doubt communities grew in areas where their was a convenient water supply but as time passed ponds began to be dug and filled by rainwater or diverting river sources.
Apparently there are currently estimated to be about 400,000 ponds in Britain, but some three-quarters (more than a million) of Britain's ponds have been lost over the last hundred years.
