FCode: 39005

Feature Description: A standing body of water with a predominantly natural shoreline surrounded by land or a flooded river system where a dam has been built to withhold water. Contains water for only part of the year, but more than just after rainstorms and at snowmelt. Height of the water surface is the stage that prevails when a natural water body is at or near capacity.

Intermittent Waterbody (Hydrographic Category = Intermittent, Stage = High Water Elevation)

FType: 436

FCode: 43614

Feature Description: A constructed basin formed to contain water or other liquids. Water Storage reservoir, used or long or short-term storage of water. Predominant construction material used to construct the reservoir is earth, or a combination of earth and rock. The reservoir contains water for only part of the year, but more than just after rainstorms and at snowmelt.
