inland waters
Lakes and rivers
Inland waters are bodies of water entirely within a landmass—lakes, rivers, streams, ponds, reservoirs, and wetlands, as distinguished from oceans and seas.
The term appears most often in legal, environmental, and regulatory contexts: fishing licenses for inland waters, pollution controls on inland waters.
Inland waters may include estuaries and bays depending on jurisdiction.
