 A body of water or waterbody(often spelled water body) is any
significant accumulation of water, generally on a planet's
surface.
 Most are naturally occurring geographical features, but some
are artificial. There are types that can be either. For example,
mostreservoirs are created by engineering dams, but some
natural lakes are used as reservoirs. Similarly,
most harbors are naturally occurring bays, but some harbors
have been created through construction.
 Bodies of water that are navigable are known as waterways.
Some bodies of water collect and move water, such as rivers
and streams, and others primarily hold water, such as lakes
and oceans.
 The term body of water can also refer to a reservoir of water
held by a plant, technically known as a phytotelma. Our report
for today is about seas, lakes and rivers.
 A sea is a large body of salt water that
is surrounded in whole or in part
by land. More broadly, "the sea" is the
interconnected system
of Earth's salty, oceanic waters—
considered as one global ocean or as
several principal oceanic divisions. The
sea moderates Earth's climate and has
important roles in the water cycle, carbon
cycle, and nitrogen cycle.
 Although the sea has
been travelled and explored since prehistor
y, the modern scientific study of the sea—
oceanography—dates broadly to
the British Challenger expedition of the
1870s. The sea is conventionally divided
into up to five large oceanic sections—
including the IHO's four named
oceans (the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian,
and Arctic) and the Southern
Ocean; smaller, second-order sections,
such as the Mediterranean, are known
as seas.
BALTICSEA
The Baltic
Sea is
a sea of
the Atlantic
Ocean,
enclosed
by Scandinavi
a, Finland,
the Baltic
countries, and
the North
European
Plain. It
includes
the Gulf of
Bothnia,
the Bay of
Bothnia,
the Gulf of
Finland,
the Gulf of
Riga, and
the Bay of
Gdańsk.
DEADSEA
The Dead
Sea, also
called the Salt
Sea, is a salt
lake bordered
by Jordan to the
east
and Israel and
the West
Bank to the
west. Its
surface and
shores are 429
metres
below sea
level, Earth's
lowest
elevation on
land.
REDSEA
The Red
Sea is
a sea-
water inlet o
f the Indian
Ocean,
lying
between Afr
ica and Asi
a.
ARABIANSEA
The Arabian
Sea is a region
of the
northern
Indian Ocean
bounded on
the north
by Pakistan a
nd Iran, on the
west by north-
eastern
Somalia and
the Arabian
Peninsula, and
on the east
by India.
 A river is a natural flowing watercourse, usually freshwater,
flowing towards an ocean, sea, lake or another river. In
some cases a river flows into the ground and becomes dry
at the end of its course without reaching another body of
water. Small rivers can be referred to using names such
as stream, creek, brook, rivulet, and rill.
 There are no official definitions for the generic term river as
applied to geographic features, although in some countries
or communities a stream is defined by its size. Many
names for small rivers are specific to geographic location;
examples are "run" in some parts of the United States,
"burn" in Scotland and northeast England, and "beck" in
northern England.
 Rivers are part of the hydrological cycle.
Water generally collects in a river
from precipitation through a drainage
basin from surface runoff and other
sources such asgroundwater
recharge, springs, and the release of
stored water in natural ice and
snowpacks (e.g.
from glaciers). Potamology is the
scientific study of rivers while limnology is
the study of inland waters in general.
CagayanRiver
The Cagayan
River, also known
as the Rio
Grande de
Cagayan, is the
longest and
largest river in
the Philippine
Archipelago. It is
located in
the Cagayan
Valley region in
northern-astern
part of Luzon
Island and
traverses
the provinces of
Nueva Vizcaya,
Quirino, Isabela
and Cagayan.
HinatuanEnchantedRiver
The Hinatuan
Enchanted River is
a deep spring that
flows into
the Philippine Sea
and the Pacific
Ocean at Barangay
Talisay, Hinatuan,
Surigao del Sur. It
earned the moniker
"enchanted river"
from the diplomat
Modesto Farolan
who described the
river in his poem
entitled "Rio
Encantado".
IloiloRiver
The Iloilo
River located in the
Province
of Iloilo, Philip-
pines is actually
an estuary.
The river starts
in Oton at
Batiano River,
which is also an
estuary, then
traverses the Iloilo
City districts
of Lapuz, Lapaz, M
andurriao,Molo, Are
valo and the city
proper, before
emptying into
the Iloilo Strait.
 A lake is an area of variable size filled with water,
localized in a basin, that is surrounded by land,
apart from any river or other outlet that serves to
feed or drain the lake.
 Lakes lie on land and are not part of
the ocean (except for sea lochs in Scotland and
Ireland), and therefore are distinct from lagoons,
and are also larger and deeper than ponds, though
there are no official or scientific definitions.
 Lakes can be contrasted with rivers or streams,
which are usually flowing. However most lakes are
fed and drained by rivers and streams.
 Natural lakes are generally found in
mountainous areas, rift zones, and areas
with ongoing glaciation. Other lakes are
found in endorheic basins or along the
courses of mature rivers.
 In some parts of the world there are many
lakes because of chaotic drainage patterns
left over from the last Ice Age.
 All lakes are temporary over geologic time
scales, as they will slowly fill in with
sediments or spill out of the basin containing
them.
TAALLAKE
Taal Lake is
a freshwater l
ake in
the province of
Batangas, on
the island
of Luzon in
the Philippines.
It is the
country's third
largest lake.
LAKEDANAO
Lake Danao is a
guitar-
shaped lake on
the island
of Leyte in
the Philippines.
It was originally
named Lake
Imelda and was
declared a
national park on
June 2, 1972 by
virtue of
presidential
memorandum
issued by then
President
Ferdinand
Marcos.
LAKEMANGUAO
Lake
Manguao is
a lake located
in the
northern-
most region
of the island
of Palawan in
the Philip-
pines. It
harbors
several
endemic s
pecies of fish,
such as
the goby
Oxyeleotris
expatria.
