[Tagging] Definition of lake/pond as applied to stream/plunge pools

[Brian M. Sperlongano]

I was looking for examples of large pools, to try to get a sense of what
the upper limit would be for calling something a "pool".

I encountered a few links [1,2] which seem to indicate that entire
stretches of the Mississippi River between subsequent dams/locks are
referred to as "pools".  We're talking stretches of the river 10s of miles
long!  From what I gather, this is quite a different thing from *stream*
pools, so probably important to draw that distinction.
