Bill Nye the Science Guy

Lakes & Ponds (#528)

Bodies of water surrounded by land on all sides are called lakes if they're large, and ponds if they're small. Lakes and ponds are formed when water collects (it pools!) in a low place in the ground. Where does all that water come from? Bill ponders this and many other freshwater questions in this exciting program.
