I don't see the difference at all----either you look out and there is water, or there isn't---how is the cause important? We own a home on a golf course with 3 ponds in view, the closest is 60-70 yards away. Have been there in February, April, June, September and October. No smell, no mosquitos, haven't seen a poisonous snake, in fact haven't seen any snakes. Only an occasional gator in the distance. Some of the golfers are more dangerous than the wildlife
Sometimes the ponds are almost all water, sometimes there is a lot of vegetation. There are always birds of all types, the sandhill cranes will walk right up to our lanai.
The sales agent disclosed that these ponds "may or may not hold water"---I took it to mean just that, regardless of cause---and there is a beauty to these pond areas either way.
