Pond water does contain nitrogen, in various forms like ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate, which are essential nutrients for aquatic life and play a crucial role in the pond's ecosystem.
Nitrogen enters ponds through various sources, including rainfall, wind, run-off from land, and the decomposition of organic matter like leaves, twigs, and fish waste.
