"ponds" or retention areas actually have nothing to do with the water sources, except rainwater runoff. It is actually water that is prevented from draining down into the aquifer because the "ponds have a plastic liner. Water levels vary quite a bit because TV has the ability to move water to where it is needed through the storm drain system. The restrictions are put in place by the Southwest Florida Water Management District, based on lack of rainfall in the southwestern part of the state.
