# Feature type: InlandWaterbody_C

## Package: NaturalWaterFeatures
## 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.

fishing | 30 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.

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.

Name: | geometry-curveGeometryInfo.width-singleValue
Title: | GEM-zI008.WID-singleValue
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.

unmaintained | 3 The man-made structure is left in place to deteriorate. The man-made structure has been abandoned and no maintenance or repairs are being carried out. While the structure is physically intact, no signs of operation are visible.
damaged | 4 The man-made structure is damaged. Damage may be a consequence of accident, military action, or natural disaster. The damaged man-made structure can be repaired.
dismantled | 5 The man-made structure has undergone a systematic selective removal of components. Low value components and/or equipment may remain. The man-made structure cannot be repaired without a great deal of time and effort.
destroyed | 6 The man-made structure has undergone complete destruction and is in a state of total disrepair. Destruction may be a consequence of military action, natural disaster, planned demolition or a long period of no maintenance. A destroyed man-made structure can only be restored by complete reconstruction.
