EIA Energy Glossary

A river, channel, canal, or other navigable body of water used for travel or transport.

Wikipedia English - The Free Encyclopedia

A waterway is any navigable body of waters. Waterways can include rivers, lakes, seas, oceans, and canals. In order for a waterway to be navigable, it must meet several criteria:

· The waterway must be deep enough to allow the draft depth of the vessels using it;

· The waterway must be wide enough to allow passage for the beam width of the vessels using it;

· The waterway must be free of barriers to navigation such as waterfalls and rapids, or have a way around them (such as canal locks and boat lifts);

· The current of the waterway must be mild enough to allow vessels to make headway.

Glossary of water terms

a smaller river or stream that flows into a larger river or stream. Usually, a number of smaller tributaries merge to form a river.

Wikipedia English - The Free Encyclopedia

A tributary or affluent is a stream or river that flows into a main stem (or parent) river or a lake. A tributary does not flow directly into a sea or ocean. Tributaries and the mainstem river serve to drain the surrounding drainage basin of its surface water and groundwater by leading the water out into an ocean or sea.
