(NJT Ponds) and more general habitat and water restoration ponds (HWR Ponds). The HWR ponds are designed to reinstate general habitat, but also to provide natural flood and surface water management, together with diffused pollution control and sediment catchment from adjacent hillside fields – acting as a buffer zone. In winter, the ponds will reach their maximum surface area, providing large waterways for
