What tends to confuse folks in The Villages (& other places), is use of the word "ponds". Ponds used to irrigate golf courses, are a different kind of "pond" than naturally occurring ponds.
Golf course "ponds" are used (generally) for the storage of water, for golf course irrigation use. That water comes from various sources (including wells in some places).
"Drainage (retention & detention) ponds" are just that. They hold water for other reasons. Could be drainage run off, it could be for other irrigation uses. When ponds are used to hold water from a treatment plant of some sort, they're usually called "lagoons".
