Vivari Channel in Albania links Lake Butrint with the Straits of Corfu. In physical geography and hydrology, a channel is a landform on which a relatively narrow body of water is situated, such as a river, river delta or strait.

The new ice unusually created a dam from Scandinavia to Scotland, and the Rhine, combined with the Thames and drainage from much of north Europe, created a vast lake behind the dam, which eventually spilled over the Weald into the English Channel.
A wide variety of river and stream channel types exist in limnology, the study of inland waters.All these can be divided into two groups by using the water-flow gradient as either low gradient channels for streams or rivers with less than two percent (2%) flow gradient, or high gradient channels for those with greater than a 2% gradient.
Additionally, the water discharge tends to be highly variable. Consequently, braided rivers usually exist near mountainous regions, especially those with glaciers. [4] These braided channels usually occur in tectonically active environments and have a larger sediment load due to varying water flow and discharge.
Pumicestone Channel, also known as the Pumicestone Passage, is a narrow, mesotidal waterway around 45 kilometres in length, between Bribie Island and the mainland in Queensland, Australia. [1] The northern extent of the passage is at Caloundra , while at the south is Deception Bay .
The sudden, unplanned release of water from the dams has led to criticism from some residents, water managers and members of Congress, who say the unusual discharge of water seems to have been ...
The English Channel, [a] [1] also known as the Channel, is an arm of the Atlantic Ocean that separates Southern England from northern France. It links to the southern part of the North Sea by the Strait of Dover at its northeastern end. It is the busiest shipping area in the world. [2]
