Title:
BH082_C
|
Definition:
A body of water that is entirely surrounded by land.
|
Description:
It may occur in a natural terrain depression in which water collects, or may be impounded
by a dam, or formed by its bed being hollowed out of the soil, or formed by embanking
and/or damming up a natural hollow (for example: by a beaver dam). Inland waterbodies
have many uses such as: a source of water for irrigation, industrial processes, human
consumption, and recreation. Impounded inland waterbodies may also be used for flood
control.

May be used to measure the depth of an inland waterbody (for example: a lake), the
depth of a terrain surface depression or excavation (for example: a crevice or trench),
the distance to the deepest point of a drilled feature (for example: a water well
or borehole) or the distance to the deepest point of a feature located entirely underground
(for example: a cave chamber). In the case of a feature located below a waterbody
(for example: a non-water well) the reference surface is the waterbody bottom, rather
than the waterbody surface.

Hunting, collecting and gathering activities directed at removing or collecting live
wild aquatic organisms (predominantly fish, molluscs and crustaceans) including plants
from the oceanic, coastal or inland waters for human consumption and other purposes
by hand or more usually by various types of fishing gear such as nets, lines and stationary
traps.
Such activities can be conducted on the intertidal shoreline (for example: collection
of molluscs such as mussels and oysters) or shore based netting, or from home-made
dugouts or more commonly using commercially made boats in inshore, coastal waters
or offshore waters. The aquatic resource being captured is usually common property
resource irrespective of whether the harvest from this resource is undertaken with
or without exploitation rights. Such activities also include fishing restocked water
bodies.

aquatic organisms (for example: fish, molluscs, crustaceans, plants, crocodiles, alligators
or amphibians) using techniques designed to increase the production of the organisms
in question beyond the natural capacity of the environment (for example: regular stocking,
feeding and protection from predators).
Culturing or farming refers to the rearing of individuals up to their juvenile and/or
adult phase under captive conditions. In addition, it also encompasses individual,
corporate or state ownership of the individual organisms throughout the rearing or
culture stage, up to and including harvesting.

Description:

If the feature is not supported above the surface by another feature then the base
of the feature is usually located at ground or water level on the downhill/downstream

The vertical distance from a specified vertical datum to the terrain surface of or

Description:

If the feature is not supported above the surface by another feature then the base
of the feature is usually located at ground or water level on the downhill/downstream
side. For non-inland water bodies, the water level is usually understood to be Mean
Sea Level (MSL). In the case of a survey marker (monument) this is usually the elevation
assigned to the marker (monument).

|
Definition:
|
The dimension of a feature taken perpendicular to its primary alignment of use and
generally in the horizontal plane.
|
Description:
|
The primary alignment of a feature is its established direction of flow or use (for
example: a road, a power line right-of-way, a river, rapid, and/or a bridge). A feature-specific
rule may apply. In the case of a bridge, the width is the distance perpendicular to
the bridge centre-line and generally in the horizontal plane. In the case of a dam,
the width is the distance perpendicular to (across the) the dam crest. If no such
direction of flow or use exists then (1) if the feature is irregular in shape its
width is taken perpendicular to the direction of its greatest horizontal dimension
(see Attribute: 'Greatest Horizontal Extent'), else (2) if the feature is regular
in shape then a shape-specific rule may apply: for a rectangular feature, the length
of the shorter axis; for a round feature, the diameter.

A macrolanguage is a set of closely related language varieties (dialects) that generally
have a common linguistic identity and a common written form; this may occur when there
is a transitional socio-linguistic situation in which sub-communities of a single
language community are diverging. The language of the geographic name source should
be distinguished from the language of origin or etymology of a geographic name; for
example, considering the place name 'San Jose, California' the language of the source
of this geographic name may be English if it is determined from a United States map,
regardless of the fact that this geographic name means 'St. Joseph, California' in
Spanish.

|
Definition:
|
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO 639-3) three character code
that designates the language or macrolanguage of the source of a geographic name.
|
Description:
|
A macrolanguage is a set of closely related language varieties (dialects) that generally
have a common linguistic identity and a common written form; this may occur when there
is a transitional socio-linguistic situation in which sub-communities of a single
language community are diverging. The language of the geographic name source should
be distinguished from the language of origin or etymology of a geographic name; for
example, considering the place name 'San Jose, California' the language of the source
of this geographic name may be English if it is determined from a United States map,
regardless of the fact that this geographic name means 'St. Joseph, California' in
Spanish.
