What are the examples of Lotic Water? 

The correct answer is Streams, River and Spring.

• The pond is not an example of a Lotic ecosystem.

Key Points

• The lotic water is a classification of the freshwater bodies on the basis of the flow of the water.
• The lotic water is composed of flowing water bodies.
• The water of these types of water bodies does not stay in one place but rather moves or flows from one place to another.
• In the first option, we are given streams, rivers, and springs.
  • Streams, rivers, and springs are all flowing bodies of water.
  • Hence, these are all examples of lotic water.
• ​A river is a flowing body of water.
  • Lakes and ponds are still bodies of water.
  • Hence, the river is an example of lotic water and the lake and ponds are examples of lentic water.
• ​Swamps and lakes are both still bodies of water.
  • Hence, these are both examples of lentic water.
• ​​Lakes and ponds are both still bodies of water.
  • Hence, these are both examples of lentic water.
  • From the above information, we can conclude that the streams, rivers, and springs are examples of lotic water.

​Additional Information

• The freshwater bodies or the freshwater ecosystem are classified into two classes on the basis of the flow of the water.
• These two classes are lentic and lotic water. Lentic water is also known as the lacustrine ecosystem or the still water ecosystem.
• It consists of those freshwater bodies, in which the water is still and does not flow.
• Hence, a lentic ecosystem is a body of standing water.
• Lotic water consists of those freshwater bodies, in which the water is moving and flows from one point to another.
