      At least it was a pond without any connection to other bodies of water. There is a Tom Scott video about a canal in the US that is charged with an electric field that zaps any fish coming through in an attempt to block a certain invasive fish species.

      The area of the water at Jack B Tomlinson Park in Arvada, CO is 2.8 acres, about 11,300 M2. There’s no universal definition of “pond”, some saying smaller than 10 acres (that’s the Minnesota Land of 10,000 Lakes definition) , while Wikipedia says less than 12.
