It is created by the erosional forces of cascading water on the rocks at formation's base where the water impacts. The term may refer to the water occupying the depression, or the depression itself.

    A beel is a billabong or a lake-like wetland with static water (as opposed to moving water in rivers and canals - typically called khaals), in the Ganges - Brahmaputra flood plains of the Eastern Indian states of West Bengal, and Assam and in the country of Bangladesh. The term owes its origins to the word of the same pronunciation meaning "pond" and "lake" in the Bengali and Assamese languages.

    rank #5 ·
    A retention basin, sometimes called a wet pond, wet detention basin or stormwater management pond, is an artificial pond with vegetation around the perimeter, and includes a permanent pool of water in its design. It is used to manage stormwater runoff to prevent flooding and downstream erosion, and improve water quality in an adjacent river, stream, lake or bay.
  • Stream pool
    Stream pool A stretch of a river or stream in which the water is relatively deep and slow moving
     0    0
    rank #6 ·
    A stream pool, in hydrology, is a stretch of a river or stream in which the water depth is above average and the water velocity is below average.
  • Beaver dam
    Beaver dam Dam constructed by beavers
     0    0
    rank #7 ·
    Beaver dams or beaver impoundments are dams built by beavers to provide ponds as protection against predators such as coyotes, wolves, and bears, and to provide easy access to food during winter. These structures modify the natural environment in such a way that the overall ecosystem builds upon the change, making beavers a keystone species. Beavers work at night and are prolific builders, carrying mud and stones with their fore-paws and timber between their teeth.
  • Seep (hydrology)
    Seep (hydrology) Type of groundwater spring

    rank #8 ·
    A seep or flush is a moist or wet place where water, usually groundwater, reaches the earth's surface from an underground aquifer.
  • Vernal pool
    Vernal pool Seasonal pools of water that provide habitat for distinctive plants and animals
     0    0
    rank #9 ·
    Vernal pools, also called vernal ponds or ephemeral pools, are seasonal pools of water that provide habitat for distinctive plants and animals. They are considered to be a distinctive type of wetland usually devoid of fish, and thus allow the safe development of natal amphibian and insect species unable to withstand competition or predation by fish. Certain tropical fish lineages (such as killifishes) have however adapted to this habitat specifically.
  • Lake ecosystem Type of ecosystem
     0    0
    rank #10 ·
    A lake ecosystem includes biotic (living) plants, animals and micro-organisms, as well as abiotic (nonliving) physical and chemical interactions.
