A waterway or water body refers to any significant accumulation of water, such as rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, and oceans. These natural or artificial channels facilitate the movement of water and can serve various purposes, including transportation, recreation, and irrigation. They play a crucial role in ecosystems and can influence local climates and habitats. Additionally, waterways are vital for human activities such as fishing, tourism, and providing drinking water.
