Talk:Creek (tidal)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Sufficient depth

In the article, sufficient depth of water for what? -- Dalbury^(Talk) 16:29, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] In British English...

I would note that creek means a tidal channel in parts of the United States, as well. For instance, almost all of the narrow passages separating keys in the Florida Keys are known as creeks. I'm not sure about other parts of the U.S., but I think the current opening statement is misleading. -- Donald Albury^(Talk) 23:12, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

I think there is little reason to keep this separate from stream. I recommend a merge and redirect. Zab 23:34, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

• Oppose merge The concept of a tidal creek is a large topic which certainly merits its own page. There are many aspects of a tidal creek that are quite distinct from a freshwater stream. (electrical conductivity, salinity, aquatic species etc) Cuvette 16:35, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose merge I agree with Cuvette that a stream and tidal creek are very different things. Considering that the word "creek" is synonymous with stream in much of inland North America, the saltwater version needs its own page, if only to highlight the difference.Amwyll Rwden (talk) 13:59, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
