Dew Ponds.

The name dew pond" is given to
certain isolated ponds on the upper
levels Of the chalk downs of the south
OF England and elsewhere. Their
name seems to imply that they depend
on dew and not entirely upon rain
for their maintenance as a source of
water supply for cattle, for which they
are used. The question has been dis
cussed good deal. but not settled;
the balance of evidence seems to be
against the view that dew deposits
make any important contribution to
the supply of water. The construction
or dew ponds is. however, still prac-
ticed on traditional lines, but it is
said that new dew pond has first to
be filed artificially. A dew pond does
not come into existence by the gradu-
al accumulation of. water in an i'm
pervious basin, from the settlement
of evaporated water from the atmos-
phere.
