A nonlinear system of hydrodynamic equations that describe the 2D motion of an incompressible liquid with a free surface in a pond with a fixed depth is studied in this work. It has been shown that a known solution to the linearized system is also a solution to the initial nonlinear system. Description of a wave pro file is also reduced to the solution of one ordinary differential nonlinear firstorder equation.
