Dear student,     
Please find below the solution to the asked query                                                           

The water of pond does not percolate through the soil making the pond dry. This is because:
  • The pond has a large amount of water (greater than the absorption tendency of the soil). The soil is not capable enough to absorb all the water from a pond.
  • Also, if the soil will take up all the water from a pond, then the soil will become compact. The percolation rate of water from the soil will decrease. 
  • Waterlogging will occur in such a case. This will affect the activity of plants growing in that soil.

Hope this information will clear your doubts about the topic.
