• Channel_(geography) - the physical confine of a river, slough or ocean strait consisting of a bed and banks. See also Stream_bedand strait.
• Cove- a coastal Landform. Earth scientists generally use the term to describe a circular or round inlet with a narrow entrance, though colloquially the term is sometimes used to describe any sheltered bay.
• Stream- a small stream.
• Creek_(tidal) - an inlet of the sea, narrower than a cove.
• Dam- a barrier across flowing water that obstructs, directs or slows down the flow, often creating a reservoir, lake or impoundment. The word "dam" can also refer to the reservoir rather than the structure.
• Arroyo_(creek) - a usually dry creek bed or gulch that temporarily fills with water after a heavy rain, or seasonally.
• Estuary- a semi-enclosed coastal body of water with one or more rivers or streams flowing into it, and with a free connection to the open sea
• Firth- the Scots word used to denote various coastal waters in Scotland. It is usually a large sea bay, estuary, inlet, or strait.
• Fjord(fiord) - a submergent landform which has occurred due to glacial activity.
• Glacier- A large collection of ice or a frozen river that moves slowly down a mountain.
• Headlands_and_bays- a part of a lake or ocean that extends so that it is surrounded by land on three sides, similar to, but larger than a bay.

• Harbor- a man-made or naturally occurring body of water where Shipare stored or may shelter from the ocean's weather and currents.
• Inlet- a body of water, usually Seawater, which has characteristics of one or more of the following: bay, cove, estuary, firth, fjord, geo, sea loch, or sound.
• Kettle_(landform) - a shallow, sediment-filled body of water formed by retreating glaciers or draining floodwaters.
• Kill_(body_of_water) - used in areas of Netherlandsinfluence in New_York, New_Jerseyand other areas of the former New Netherland colony of Dutch America to describe a strait, river, or arm of the sea.
• Lagoon- a body of comparatively shallow salt or brackish water separated from the deeper sea by a shallow or exposed Sandbank, Coral_reef, or similar feature.
• Lake- a body of water or other liquid, but usually freshwater, of considerable size contained on a body of land.
• Loch- a body of water such as a lake, sea inlet, firth, fjord, estuary or bay.
• Mangrove- Saline coastal habitat of mangrove trees and shrubs.
• Marsh- a wetland featuring grasses, rushes, reeds, typhas, sedges, and other herbaceous plants (possibly with low-growing woody plants) in a context of shallow water. See also Salt_marsh.
• Millpond- a Reservoirbuilt to provide flowing water to a Watermill
• Moat- a deep, broad trench, filled with water, surrounding a structure, installation, or town.
• Ocean- a major body of saline water that, in totality, covers about 71% of the Earth's surface.
• Oxbow_lake- a U-shaped lake formed when a wide meander from the mainstem of a river is cut off to create a lake.
• Phytotelma- a small, discrete body of water held by some plants.
• Pool- a small body of water such as a Swimming_pool, Reflecting_pool, pond, or puddle.
• Pond- a body of water smaller than a lake, especially those of man-made origin.
• Puddle- a small accumulation of water on a surface, usually the ground.
• Rapid- a fast moving part of a river
• Reservoir- an artificial lake, used to store water for various uses.
• River- a natural waterway usually formed by water derived from either precipitation or glacial meltwater, and flows from higher ground to lower ground.
• Roadstead- a place outside a harbor where a ship can lie at anchor; it is an enclosed area with an opening to the sea, narrower than a bay or gulf (often called a "roads").
• Stream- a small stream or part thereof, especially a smoothly flowing part of a stream.
• Salt_marsh- a type of Marshthat is a transitional zone between land and an area, such as a slough, bay, or estuary, with salty or brackish water.
• Sea- a large expanse of saline water connected with an ocean, or a large, usually saline, lake that lacks a natural outlet such as the Caspian_Seaand the Dead_Sea. In common usage, often synonymous to ocean.
• Sea_loch- a sea inlet loch.
• Sea_lough- a fjord, estuary, bay or sea inlet.
• Slough_(wetland) - the word slough has several meanings related to wetland or aquatic features.
• Source_(river_or_stream) - the original point from which the river or stream flows. A river's source is sometimes a Spring_(hydrosphere).
• Sound_(geography) - a large sea or ocean inlet larger than a bay, deeper than a bight, wider than a fjord, or it may identify a narrow sea or ocean channel between two bodies of land.
• Spring_(hydrosphere) - a point where Groundwaterflows out of the ground, and is thus where the Aquifersurface meets the ground surface
• Strait- a narrow channel of water that connects two larger bodies of water, and thus lies between two land masses.
• Stream- a body of water with a detectable current, confined within a bed and banks.
• Subglacial_lake- a lake that is permanently covered by ice and whose water remains liquid by the pressure of the ice sheet and geothermal heating. They often occur under glaciers or ice caps. Lake_Vostokin Antarcticais an example.
• Swamp- a wetland that features permanent inundation of large areas of land by shallow bodies of water, generally with a substantial number of hummocks, or dry-land protrusions.
• Tarn_(lake) - a mountain lake or pool formed in a Cirqueexcavated by a glacier.
• Tide_pool- a rocky pool adjacent to an ocean and filled with seawater.
• Vernal_pool- a shallow, natural depression in level ground, with no permanent above-ground outlet, that holds water seasonally.
• Arroyo_(creek) - a usually dry creek bed or gulch that temporarily fills with water after a heavy rain, or seasonally.
• Wetland- an environment "at the interface between truly terrestrial ecosystems and truly aquatic systems making them different from each yet highly dependent on both" (Mitsch & Gosselink, 1986).
