Ponds and Water Management The detailing of external systems such as rainwater harvesting, grey water recycling, drainage or water features may be conveniently addressed as part of the garden and landscape scope. Water Features, Ponds and Natural Swimming Pools Formal or informal ponds, and fountains or other water features, are popular and useful design features. However, designing, constructing and planting water features calls for a blend of good design – balanced and harmonious with the surrounding gardens and house – together with sound technical knowledge. A wildlife pond, optimised for invertebrates such as dragonflies and damselflies, can be an ecologically attractive feature, where space permits. A natural swimming pool is reliant on the purifying effect of the root systems of certain aquatic plant and does not need chlorination, so swimming is much more pleasant (and a natural pool will pick up quite a bit of solar heat, without being artificially heated).
