Pond distance to the boundary and a well
Netherlands
The applicable zone depends on the municipal environmental plan, provincial rules and water-board rules. Check the official Rules on the Map for this property before fixing the distance.
Distances and rules
An ornamental pond is set back from the plot boundary so it stays accessible and water does not seep to the neighbour, and kept away from a drinking-water source so it cannot contaminate a well or borehole.
