pond, cistern, pool, reservoir
池 centers on a contained body of water: a pond, pool, cistern, or reservoir. All meanings share the idea of water held in a defined space.
池 combines 氵 (water) with 也, which likely contributes the sound. The character expresses a body of water.
Water 氵 beside 也, a shape that looks like a basin or container. Picture a basin filled with water forming a pond.
For チ, imagine a child (child -> チ) playing by the pond, splashing water everywhere.
