Fresh water
8 linksAny naturally occurring liquid or frozen water containing low concentrations of dissolved salts and other total dissolved solids.
Any naturally occurring liquid or frozen water containing low concentrations of dissolved salts and other total dissolved solids.
Fresh water may encompass frozen and meltwater in ice sheets, ice caps, glaciers, snowfields and icebergs, natural precipitations such as rainfall, snowfall, hail/sleet and graupel, and surface runoffs that form inland bodies of water such as wetlands, ponds, lakes, rivers, streams, as well as groundwater contained in aquifers, subterranean rivers and lakes.
River
5 linksA river is a natural flowing watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, sea, lake or another river.
Groundwater
6 linksWater present beneath Earth's surface in rock and soil pore spaces and in the fractures of rock formations.
Water present beneath Earth's surface in rock and soil pore spaces and in the fractures of rock formations.
Groundwaters sustain rivers, wetlands, and lakes, as well as subterranean ecosystems within karst or alluvial aquifers.
Pond
2 linksA pond is an area filled with water, either natural or artificial, that is smaller than a lake.
Limnology
3 linksStudy of inland aquatic ecosystems.
Study of inland aquatic ecosystems.

Volcanic crater lake
2 linksA volcanic crater lake is a lake in a crater that was formed by explosive activity or a collapse during a volcanic eruption.
Water pollution
3 linksContamination of water bodies, usually as a result of human activities, so that it negatively affects its uses.
Contamination of water bodies, usually as a result of human activities, so that it negatively affects its uses.
Water bodies include lakes, rivers, oceans, aquifers, reservoirs and groundwater.
Stream
2 linksContinuous body of surface water flowing within the bed and banks of a channel.
Continuous body of surface water flowing within the bed and banks of a channel.
Distributaries are often found where a stream approaches a lake or an ocean.
Sea
4 linksBody of salty water that covers approximately 71 percent of the Earth's surface.
Body of salty water that covers approximately 71 percent of the Earth's surface.
Seas are generally larger than lakes and contain salt water, but the Sea of Galilee is a freshwater lake.
Water supply
1 linksProvision of water by public utilities, commercial organisations, community endeavors or by individuals, usually via a system of pumps and pipes.
Provision of water by public utilities, commercial organisations, community endeavors or by individuals, usually via a system of pumps and pipes.
Water supply systems get water from a variety of locations after appropriate treatment, including groundwater (aquifers), surface water (lakes and rivers), and the sea through desalination.
