What is your definition of an artificial waterway? Dug and designed
by man? Made of non-natural materials?
Near me a few years ago was an open marshy field that was fed by a
stream, with a stream exiting.
Now the developers have put houses up in the field. They brought in
dirt and raised the ground level, dug a connection between the entry
and exit streams and landscaped around it. Is it a stream or a drain?
It's not concrete (except for one bridge area), it looks like a
stream, but it is man made.
