| Preferred label | Water Courses |
| Definition | Water surfaces in fluent state. Includes: rivers, streams, creeks, channels, waterways. Special case Estuary: Estuaries is not represented within the EAGLE model as an explicit LCC. It is more a geographical term than a LCC, and moreover rather difficult to delineate. Also, how to categorize an estuary as coastal water / transitional water / marine water depends somehow on the users perspective. However, the EAGLE group suggests to describe an estuary with LCC water course in combination with water characteristics (salinity, tidal influence). Basically, the water course is the primary source and reason for the existence of an estuary. Therefore it is considered reasonable to use LCC water course. |
