This dimension groups bodies of water by what kind of water body each one actually is, such as an ocean, a lake or a river. Wikipedia defines a body of water broadly, since "a body of water is a significant accumulation of water on the surface of the earth," covering everything from oceans to small ponds. Browsing by water body type keeps comparable features together even when their scale differs enormously.
