Lakes can be fed by rivers, or feed them.
Plus there are these things called oxbow lakes that are created by bends forming in rivers and then the banks collapses and you get lakes forming.
A really beautiful song by The Orb - it has an emotional gravity that I have rarely detected in their work, entertaining as it often has been
Wiki enlightens on the subject of oxbow lakes:
An oxbow lake is a U-shaped lake or pool that forms when a wide meander of a river is cut off, creating a free-standing body of water. The word "oxbow" can also refer to a U-shaped bend in a river or stream, whether or not it is cut off from the main stream. An oxbow lake forms when a meandering river erodes through the neck of one of its meanders. This takes place because meanders tend to grow and become more curved over time. The river then follows a shorter course that bypasses the meander. The entrances to the abandoned meander eventually silt up, forming an oxbow lake. Because oxbow lakes are stillwater lakes, with no current flowing through them, the entire lake gradually silts up, becoming a bog or swamp and then evaporating completely. When a river reaches a low-lying plain, often in its final course to the sea or a lake, it meanders widely.
The Orb's tune probably belongs to a category of songs, "seen from the window of a plane while on tour".
Possibly rather a small category of songs but there is Talking Heads's "The Big Country"
Or it could be in the category of songs, "composed after watching a nature documentary"
Again, possibly not a very large category, but I suspect some Cocteau Twins records belong there ("Victorialand", "Aikea-Guinea") and maybe some ambient chill-out type records.
