Default Re: Lakes that stop producing

small lakes and ponds "die" over time naturally. the ongoing cycle of organic (and inorganic matter) collecting on the bottom slowly but surely eliminates depth, "silting in" making them more and more shallow every year. Unless maintained, a small lake or pond usually ends up being a wetland or marsh.
