A reverse sloped outlet pipe drains cooler water from below the pond surface to a control manhole that is accessible from the bank for ease of maintenance.  Deeper [[outlets]] result in cooler outflows than shallow outlets because pond water temperatures decrease with depth.  The figure below shows an example of thermal stratification during the summer in a deep pond using said subsurface outlets.
