Flat or gently sloping terrain can make it easier to construct ponds as minimal earthwork is required. Areas with good soil stability and proper drainage can also facilitate pond construction. Access to water sources and proximity to infrastructure for pond maintenance can further simplify the construction process.

An area and topography includes all of the following except climate. Climate is a separate factor that influences the weather conditions of an area but is not considered a part of its topography, which refers to the physical features and layout of the land.
The adjective for topography is "topographic", which refers to the physical features and layout of a specific area of land.
The gentle sloping terrain of the area allows for natural water flow to collect, making it easy to construct a pond by directing and controlling this water flow. Additionally, the soil composition and geology can provide a solid foundation for building structures and retaining walls needed for the pond's construction. The presence of existing depressions or low-lying areas can also reduce the need for extensive excavation work.
Those land forms are called topography. Topography refers to the physical features of an area, including mountains, rivers, valleys, and other surface characteristics.
The topography of the area revealed steep mountains, rolling hills, and deep valleys.
