If your pond isn't at least 20 ft. deep, at some point. It is almost a guarantee that the pond will need chemicals to help keep it clean. Shallow water, because of heat gain and lack of circulation and aeration and runoff and the fill around the pond; even the vegetation and animals can lead to problems.
Ponds go stagnant in the summer because the sun evaporates the water in the pond faster then the rain can fill up the pond.

There are a number of reasons why pond water would become stagnant in the summer. Pond water may not be stirred often enough.
They live in stagnant ponds and rice patties in Southeast Asia.
When air temperatures heat stagnant water, such as in ponds and lakes, the dissolved oxygen levels are reduced. The fish cannot get oxygen out of the water via their gills and they suffocate.
A stagnant ecosystem refers to an ecosystem that lacks movement or change, often characterized by a lack of diversity, low productivity, and limited or no movement of energy and nutrients. Stagnant ecosystems typically have low levels of oxygen, causing a decrease in biodiversity and overall ecosystem health. Examples of stagnant ecosystems can include stagnant ponds or lakes with low water flow or oxygen levels.
A paramecium is not autotrophic. A paramecium is heterotrophic. The paramecium are single-celled organisms that are found in marine environments and stagnant ponds.

Stagnant ponds and rice patties in the Vietnam area. They breathe air because the water doesn't have any oxygen in it.
The other creatures like snakes and fish eat them.
Makhana or Gorgon Nut, is an highly nutritious, fully organic non-cereal food, which is extensively grown in the stagnant water of wetlands, tanks, ponds lakes and ditches.
Yes. Frogs lay their eggs in stagnant or still water. The eggs hatch into a little aquatic animal called a tadpole that slowly developes into an adult frog.
All of our amphibians lay their eggs in water. Most frogs, toads and salamanders like to lay their eggs in small ponds where there are no fish to eat the eggs or young. If the young amphibians grow and change to adult shape quickly, the eggs can be laid in ponds that dry up by late summer. So some amphibians breed in ponds that fill with water from melting snow in spring or heavy rains in summer. They can live in places where there are no ponds or other water for part of the year.
