In a backyard setting, a small pond will be very beneficial to #wildlife. Here's the hand-dug bi-level pond in my garden. The upper section is shallow for animals to bathe and drink: bees, birds, bunnies. The lower section is wider (<4.5 feet) deeper (<3 feet). #Frogs in my area prefer small quiet ponds.

The special black liner can be purchased, seen here because deer, my nemesis, knocked many rocks off.

More in future toots.

A bi-level pond is shown. In the foreground is a shallow pond, roughly circular, perhaps four feet in diameter. It is surrounded by light colored stones. Beyond that and lower is a deeper pond no more than 4 1/2 feet wide and less than three feet deep. It is also surrounded by decorative light-colored stones that are larger. Behind the pond are canna lilies and there is a note that says they are for frog hiding. To the right in the larger pond there are water plants growing from the pond. There is a note there that says these water plants are for dragonflies to exit. At the bottom of the photo can be seen clover adjacent to the shallow pond and there is a note that says "clover lawn". In the shallow pond there is a reflection of trees that are not seen in the picture.
