Water shapes the map in many forms, each with its own name. A gulf and a bay are large inlets of sea reaching into land, a strait and a channel are narrow passages between two larger waters, and a sound often runs between an island and the coast. Where a river meets the sea lies an estuary, fed upstream by a tributary. A lagoon sits behind a reef or bar, and a reservoir is a lake made by people. This word puzzle gathers eleven of them.
