A shallow pond where sunlight, bacterial action, and oxygen work to purify wastewater.

A lagoon may refer to an artificial pond or pool used to capture and contain stormwater excesses or to hold wastewater for treatment. In the natural environment, a lagoon refers to a stretch of salt water separated from an ocean or sea by a sandbar or reef.

A shallow pond where sunlight, bacterial action, and oxygen

An area of water totally or partially enclosed by coral islands, atolls, and reefs.

A shallow pond that can connect with or communicate with a larger body of water. A tidal lagoon is constructed of a 360 degree barrage in a tidal basin or estuary

A shallow lake near river or sea, due to infiltration or overflow of water from the larger body.

A shallow body of water, as a pond or lake, which usually has a shallow restricted INLET from the sea. See Figure 5.

in wastewater treatment, a shallow pond where sunlight, bacterial action, and oxygen interact to restore wastewater to a reasonable state of purity.

A shallow body of water separated from deeper sea by a bar.

 A calm, shallow body of water separated from a larger body of water by barrier islands or reefs or in the centre of an atoll.

A lagoon is a shallow body of water that is located alongside a coast and separated from the ocean by a strip of land or a sandbank.

(n) - a shallow body of fresh water cut off from a lake

In wastewater treatment or livestock facilities, a shallow pond used to store wastewater where sunlight and biological activity decompose the waste.
