This dimension groups bodies of water by how large or how deep each one is. The category itself spans an enormous range, since it "includes smaller pools of water such as ponds, wetlands, or more rarely, puddles," right alongside oceans, according to Wikipedia. Browsing by area or depth band separates the vast from the modest within the same broad category.
