Here where I live everything sits on a limestone bed. Makes all the water stay. Ponds are common and self made by natural springs and stuff. That makes everything like a big bowl of soupy mud that never dries out. There are mud holes that stay that way trough droughts. The springs also run down the rocks and the warm springs and summers help the algae grow so they stay green and slick.It's so rocky up here it's intense. It's not uncommon to need to drill 500+ feet before your well fills up with water. The well at my parents is "only" 450' deep.. but took the company most of 3 days to get through that much ledge.. they were about ready to start over in a different part of the yard right before they hit water. Apparently.. once they finally found success the water shot out of the well Like a fountain for a few more days, my father was getting excited that he was gonna end up with a little pond he could stock with fish.. but the topsoil drains so good his pond dried up pretty quickly.
It's all caused by glaciers way back in the day.
