		In the symbiotic relationship between mill owners and their neighbors, farmers were frequently given the right to use water from mill ponds to irrigate cultivated fields or mowing lots during the months when sawmills were least likely to operate.
		By turning the brook, relocating the mill, and creating a sizable mill pond capable of storing more water than the original Marsh millseat, Edward and John Phillips greatly increased the potential running time of their sawmill.
		Several of the woodlots owned by the Wights were a few miles from their Quinebaug mill; one was situated in the northwestern part of Sturbridge near the Brookfield line, another near Walker Pond in the northeastern portion of town and a third in the rough and remote southeastern hills surrounding Breakneck Brook.

	Historically: How to Site a Mill
		Mill ponds situated in narrow valleys must be backed up a considerable distance in order to impound sufficient water for the daily mill operation.
		The vertical mill wheel made it necessary to build a gear system to change the horizontal rotation of the main shaft into a vertical motion that could be used inside the mill to power the millstones.
		Mill sites are more numerous and sharply defined in hilly terrain and in the upper portions of a river system than in lower valleys with gentler slopes and a typically sedentary character.

		Temporary ponds that dry up for part of the year are included in this group, as are garden ponds and ponds in public parks which are now both recognised as valuable refuge habitats for amphibians.
		Shrubby cover around the pond is an essential part of the habitat for amphibians and dragonflies, both of which breed in ponds but spend most of their lives on land.
		Storage ponds are increasingly being used by the horticultural industry on the coastal plain to retain glasshouse run-off for use in irrigation.

		The proliferation of "dry ponds" as a method to manage stormwater in Fairfax County has been successful in providing a solution for flood control and, in some cases, pollution treatment.
		The dry ponds currently so popular in the County also can be costly due to the cost of frequent mowing and increased maintenance.
		While the initially low cost of building a dry pond may be inviting to some, it would be hard to argue that they are artistic pieces of landscaping.

		Green Pond is brackish, ranging in salinity from 8.5 ppt at the north end, closest to the freshwater input, to 29.3 ppt at the south end, near the outlet to Vineyard Sound (Ramsey et al., 1999).
		Green Pond was formed in a drowned valley in the outwash plain, Mill Pond is a shallow basin at its head.
		One explanation for the N limitation in Mill Pond is that the nutrient concentrations in the water entering from the cranberry bog change the relative nutrient availability in the pond.

	Pond educational resource pack - ponds and history
		Ponds were used for washing, cooking, drinking and watering livestock, and villages therefore tended to grow around ponds.
		In the middle ages, ponds were used by monks and villagers to rear fish and ducks for eating.
		Some ponds were also drained or camouflaged with branches so that they weren't reflective landmarks at night for enemy planes.

		A map of the Parker River mills from 1807 shows that there were four grist mills along the stretch of river between the falls at Central St. and River Street in Byfield.
		Unfortunately, although these mills provided important services to the communities in which the were located, they also had a significant impact on the rivers and streams next to which they were located.
		The rivers were typically used as a dumping ground for both human and industrial waste and the dams blocked the migration of anadromous fish that came into the rivers each spring to spawn.

		This is due to the paper mill wastes coming into this part of the bay and not being diluted sufficiently by flow from the Perdido River.
		With rain, the paper mill wastes are diluted more but the rain also washes sludges out of paper mill ponds.
		The increase in effluent flow also decreases the time the paper mill effluent is treated in their ponds.

	Coonamessett River History
		Philip Dexter located Falmouth’s first grist mill at the mouth of the river around 1700, as the Coonamessett was one of the few rivers with enough water flow to power a waterwheel.
		By 1795, there were three mills along the Coonamessett, causing a decline in the native anadromous fisheries in the river.
		The fall off in the herring population along the Coonamessett sparked years of heated conflict between mill interests and fishery proponents and is popularly known as the “herring war.” It started in 1798 with a bylaw passed at Town Meeting.

		The low-grade ore meant that about 95 percent of the crude ore mined was discarded on the surface in the form of mill tailings in enormous chat piles and large flotation ponds.
		Due to inefficient milling processes, only about 80 percent of the lead and 50 percent of the zinc were removed from the crude ore; the rest remained in the mill tailings.
		Large parts of the towns were built on lands that were formerly mill ponds, flotation ponds, or chat piles.

	The Daily Me * Looking Back

		Both of these ponds had fish in them because when I was just a young fellow, I can remember catching pickerel, yellow perch and sunfish, fishing off the Iron Bridge and off the shore beside the railroad track along side the mill pond.
		The mill pond was located on the lower part of the Wayside Park and back in my time we used to have a short-cut that came up through the back yard of the mill and on up to the Park Theater.

		Such habitats are ponds that dry out or significantly diminish in summer, often partially shaded ponds of that type; ditches that dry out and are shaded are also sites.
		There are many ponds now of very little wildlife or visual amenity interest where removal of overhanging trees and digging out could be attempted, but the principal way this should be achieved is by digging new ponds.
		There are no other species of significant conservation interest that especially like partially shaded ponds that partly dry up, but there are a many that like ponds that partly dry up; the major factor is absence of fish that eat many rare invertebrates and amphibians.

		The village also bought the mill's adjoining property, which is now a nice park downstream from the pond.
		Refilled, the pond again became a good fishing spot, which it remained until it was drained last summer to facilitate the county Highway HH project and replacement of the dam.
		Some day the pond will have to be redredged or, as one person has suggested, be turned into a golf course.

		It is true that while the sewers were building, and no other drainage possible, the local authorities have been almost compelled to permit temporarily the discharge of house and of factory wastes into the river, until they could provide the remedy which is now provided.
		If it should be alleged that the mill ponds still contain the animal and vegetable wastes of the past twenty years and more, should it not be replied that these wastes are much less dangerous when covered by water than when fermenting in the open air?

		Look at the shoreline of the Mill Pond (you can walk inside the railings), then take a foot-path which runs along the western shore through Birch woodlands, past the venerable and alas declining Sweet Chestnut trees (planted in the mid-1700s), and thence to the left through the newly-developed area of houses and cottages.
		And so between the Mill Pond itself and Chingford Pond on the right.Onward and then bearing left will take you through some coniferous woodland and an elevated and dry area, and so along the edge of a swamp environment.
