Delta: a flat, low-lying area where a river ends, often splitting into several branches before it reaches another river, the ocean, or another body of water. You’ll see the word “kill” used both to refer to creeks and to various towns, such as Peekskill. It’s also used in the name of one of New York’s famous mountain ranges, the Catskills. 23. Lagoon There is also a distinction to be made between puddles and temporary ponds. To qualify for the second category, the pond must be wet for at least four months of the year (although I think we have all known puddles of that duration). When does a puddle become a problem? Biggs is also the author of the book Ponds, Pools and Puddles, so he is the man to answer this question. There are no hard and fast differences, he says, but because people keep asking, the trust has created some guidelines based on size. “In the UK, we call everything up to 2 hectares [about 5 acres] a pond, but a lake that’s 2.1 hectares is really no different from a pond that’s 1.9 hectares,” he says. “Down the bottom end, we call things down to 1 sq metre a pond, so then it’s below that we have puddles.”A sound is effectively a large ocean inlet. Sounds are more or less the same thing as a bay, but usually on a smaller scale. However, the use of the word “sound” in geography is highly inconsistent and you can find various usages of the term on official maps. Elegant, understated, urgent and nourishing, this is a book that gives shape to the many intimate waters that connect us, to languages loved, lost and longed for, to the lands that honour us by giving us a home. With poetic precision, Nina Mingya Powles shows us what nature writing can be, braiding place, food, family, migration and all their legacies. This is non-fiction at its most dynamic, its most transporting. I will keep this book close by and return to it often” Sometimes, complexes of many inlets are collectively referred to as sounds, though this is not the traditional use of the term “sound.” Examples of these collective inlets include the Puget Sound off the coast of northern Washington state in the USA and Howe Sound to the northwest of Vancouver, British Columbia. 21. Kettle Lake That being said, swamps are most common in warm, humid areas where standing water is the norm. For example, Florida’s Everglades is one of the largest swamps in the United States. The first edition of Wetlands by Mitsch and Gosselink was published in 1986 by Van Nostrand Reinhold. Second, third, and fourth (current) editions were published in 1993, 2000, and 2007 respectively by John Wiley & Sons. "Wiley: Wetlands, 4th Edition". Archived from the original on 3 July 2012 .

Impoundment: a body of water that is purposefully contained in an artificial enclosure; a reservoir that is created by a dam. Where is the place your body is anchored? Which body of water is yours? Is it that I’ve anchored myself in too many places at once, or nowhere at all? The answer lies somewhere between. Over time, springing up from the in-between space, new islands form. The pink hue of Australia’s Lake Hillier defies scientific explanation. (Photo: Kurioziteti123/CC BY-SA 4.0) A body of frozen water less than 50,000km 2 not constrained by topographical features (i.e., they will lie over the top of mountains) a narrow channel of water that connects two larger bodies of water, and thus lies between two land masses.As a result, rivers deposit these sediments at their mouth, creating a system of braided channels. These braided channels eventually form a sandy landform that can support wetland habitats. This is difficult to measure; do we use length, depth, area or volume? With no governing body to verify the title, the distinction is awarded unofficially dozens of times a year by headline writers.

Perhaps the most famous delta in the world is the Nile River Delta, which covers a wide swath of land (about 150 mi/240 km of coastline) as the Nile empties into the Mediterranean. Lake: a freshwater body of water that is bound by land, larger than a pond, and usually freshwater; may be artificial such as a reservoir, or naturally occurring. Her writing retains a dreamlike quality, conjured through descriptions that are luminous and rich, saturated with soft edges – Bath Magazine One of the world’s most important ecosystems, estuaries are located at the intersection between freshwater and saltwater. Where is the place your body is anchored? Which body of water is yours? Is it that I’ve anchored myself in too many places at once, or nowhere at all? The answer lies somewhere between. Over time, springing up from the in-between space, new islands form.’When most of us picture bodies of water, we think of lakes, rivers, streams, and oceans. However, there are dozens of different types of bodies of water out there, each of which plays a vital role in its local ecosystems. Nina Mingya Powles is a distinctive new voice: attentive and tender. Her experience of belonging to many places is one that so many of us can relate to. This book is a beautiful personal journey through plants and sea creatures, food and language … A gorgeous read” So, without further ado, here are the 47 types of bodies of water that give life to our wonderful planet Earth: 1. Arroyo Since oxbow lakes generally don’t have any inlets or outlets, they are home to very still, stagnant water. Many of these lakes will eventually dry up, but they can sometimes become small bogs that support local ecosystems. 30. Pond
