This entire article is problematic

I think the focus of this article is inappropriately narrow. Examples of "standing bodies of water" would include lakes and ponds, many of which pose no significant environmental hazard whatsoever. Perhaps "standing water" should not redirect here. Alluvian (talk) 19:09, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

i concur with alluvian. german wp (and a few more) has a general treatment of "non-moving bodies of water" that appears to have no equivalent on en.wiki. k kisses 16:38, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

this article conflicts with the claims of environmental benefits of wetlands. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.131.175.122 (talk) 19:02, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

I'm concerned that the article's content might actually encourage the destruction of wetlands, since the article describes stagnant water as a form of "water pollution". Jarble (talk) 17:12, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

It's clearly (sorry, bad joke) time for a rewrite of this article, or merge it into another. Volunteers? Moreau1 (talk) 18:21, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

I agree that this article is problematic. Would it perhaps make sense to delete this page and move any relevant content to the sections on lentic water in the Aquatic ecosystem article? Kellyproof (talk) 01:38, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

Why is this article listed in the "water pollution" template?

Is stagnant water really considered a type of water pollution? This article appears to present stagnant water as a type of water pollution, even though it is an essential part of certain ecosystems, such as swamps, bogs, and wetlands. Jarble (talk) 16:59, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

a load of rubbish

The concept that water in containers is stagnant offends against observation & experience. It might become a home to protozoa & the like, but that is why we boil it first. 101.171.85.70 (talk) 06:26, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Lack of Sources

It rains heavily and there is stagnation of water near the roots
