At least in American English, there is an intermediate term, pond, for a body of water smaller than a lake but larger than a mere wide spot in a stream. Ponds can be man-made or natural.

If (when, in Australia) the river stops flowing, these pools become a
water oasis for all.
And if the pool dries up you can dig there for water, if needed.



so where's the distinction to lake? How much is the water flow reduced
there, can you still perceive you're in a river, or is it more like a still
water body with water flowing in and out?

Cheers,
Martin
