Today’s #kanji is #池, which is made of さんずいへん（氵） and 也. 也 is supposed to be the sound element but 池 and 也 do not share the same sound in the modern Japanese. Can you read 池 and do you know what it means?
Meaning: a pond
Reading: チ、いけ
電池（デンチ）: a (cell) battery, an electric cell
貯水池（チョスイチ）: a (water) reservoir
遊水池（ユウスイチ）: a retarding basin; a flood retarding basin
池（いけ）: a pond, a pool, a lake, a lagoon
堀池（ほりいけ）: a man-made pond
池 can be natural or man-made. If a natural 池 is really big, it’s called 湖（みずうみ）.
