Discharge basin water: These wetlands occupy flat or concave basins situated in topographic low areas where they mainly receive groundwater inflow but there is no outflow. Evaporation may be high, in which case, some of these wetlands are strongly saline. Shorelines may be poorly defined or recessional. Freshwater situations are more permanent than those with saline waters. 1, record 1, English, - discharge%20basin%20water

Eau de bassin de l'écoulement : Ces terres humides se trouvent dans des bassins plats ou concaves situés dans des reliefs bas où elles sont alimentées par un courant de déversement d’eau souterraine, mais sans courant de débordement. Un taux d’évaporation élevé est possible; dans ces cas, certaines terres humides deviennent très salées. Les rivages sont parfois peu définis ou récessifs. Les eaux douces sont pérennes, contrairement aux eaux salées. 1, record 1, French, - eau%20de%20bassin%20de%20l%27%C3%A9coulement

Lacustrine shore marsh: These marshes develop on recent lacustrine sediments, along the shoreline, and between high and low water positions, on permanent lakes and merging with deep water. Lacustrine shore marshes collect surface runoff and are subject to periodic flooding by wave action and rises in lake levels. They are associated with recession flats, lagoons, swales and beach ridges. 1, record 2, English, - lacustrine%20shore%20marsh

Marais lacustrien de rivage : Ces marais se forment dans de nouveaux sédiments lacustriens, le long du rivage, entre une eau élevée et une eau basse, sur des lacs pérennes s’alliant à des eaux plus profondes. Les marais lacustriens de rivage captent l'eau d’écoulement de surface et sont soumis à des inondations ponctuelles causées par l'action des vagues et les hausses du niveau du lac. Ils sont associés aux plats régressifs, aux lagunes, aux dépressions et aux crêtes de plage. 1, record 2, French, - marais%20lacustrien%20de%20rivage

Lacustrine swamp: These swamps occur along the shores of permanent ponds or lakes. The high water table is maintained by the lake water level which may flood the lacustrine swamp during high water periods. Marsh or fen may occur between lacustrine swamp and the open water. 1, record 3, English, - lacustrine%20swamp

Marécage lacustrien : Ces marécages se trouvent le long du rivage d’étangs ou de lacs pérennes. La nappe phréatique reste élevée grâce au niveau de l'eau du lac, qui inonde parfois le marécage lacustrien pendant les crues. Un marais ou un fen peuvent se trouver entre le marécage lacustrien et les eaux libres. 1, record 3, French, - mar%C3%A9cage%20lacustrien
