The Sacramento Deep Water Ship Channel (also known as Sacramento River Deep Water Ship Channel or SRDWSC) is a canal from the Port of Sacramento in West Sacramento, California to the Sacramento River, which flows into San Francisco Bay.
 It was completed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers in 1963.
 The channel is about 30 feet (9 m) deep, 200 feet (61 m) wide and 43 miles (69 km) long.
A ship channel can be an artificial or dredged waterway for moving ship traffic; see canal.
 A ship channel can also be a channel formed through surface ice by a ship.
The Corpus Christi Ship Channel is a deep water navigable ship canal located in Corpus Christi, Texas.
 It is part of the Port of Corpus Christi, managed and controlled by the Corpus Christi Port Authority.
 The depth of the channel is 45 feet (13.7 meters).
 It is used mostly for heavy industry and the export and import of goods.
Deep Water is a 2009 novel in the Cliff Hardy series by Peter Corris.
 In April 2009, The Independent Weekly called "Deep Water" "a web of intrigue".
 Deep Water is the thirty fourth novel in the series, whose protagonist has been called "Sydney’s best-known private investigator" In 2009, Corris won the Ned Kelly Award for "Deep Water" in the fiction category.
Deep Water Acres is a US-based independent webzine and record label dedicated to experimental music.
 Originally a physical magazine called "Deep Water", the Internet publication features musical commentaries, reviews, artist profiles and interviews as well as Australian campfire recipes.
 Since 2005, "Deep Water" also operates as an independent record label under the name Deep Water Sonic Productions.
 The label has so far released over 40 full length CDs of experimental music, covering acts such as Ashtray Navigations, Agitated Radio Pilot, United Bible Studies, Niagara Falls, The Goner, Evening Fires, Heavy Winged, Brother Ong, Dead Sea Apes and Alligator Crystal Moth.
The Hampshire and Hampden Canal was the Massachusetts segment of an 86 mi canal that once connected New Haven, Connecticut to the Connecticut River north of Northampton, Massachusetts.
 Its Connecticut segment was called the Farmington Canal.
The Bayport Container Terminal, or simply the Bayport Terminal, is a major deep water port in the Greater Houston area in Texas (United States).
 This relatively new terminal, part of the Port of Houston, is designed to handle standardized cargo containers and offload the nearby Barbours Cut Terminal, which has no further room for expansion.
 The Bayport Terminal is situated along the Bayport Ship Channel off Galveston Bay, between La Porte, Texas and Seabrook, Texas (adjacent to Shoreacres and El Jardin).
 This channel itself feeds into to the larger Houston Ship Channel, which runs from Houston, through Galveston Bay, to the Gulf of Mexico.
The Farmington Canal, also known as the New Haven and Northampton Canal, was a major private canal built in the early 19th century to provide water transportation from New Haven into the interior of Connecticut, Massachusetts and beyond.
 Its Massachusetts segment was known as the Hampshire and Hampden Canal.
 With the advent of railroads, it was quickly converted to a railroad in the mid-19th century and in recent years has been converted to a multi-use trail (a rails-to-trails project) after being abandoned for years.
The Port of Lake Charles is an industrial port based in the city of Lake Charles, Louisiana, U.S.A.
 It is a major employer in Lake Charles.
 It is the twelfth-busiest port in the United States according to the American Association of Port Authorities "U.S. Port Ranking by Cargo Tonnage, 2013" report and the 83rd-busiest in the world in terms of tonnage according to the American Association of Port Authorities "World Port Rankings 2013" report.
 The Calcasieu Ship Channel provides direct access to the Gulf of Mexico, 34 miles downstream from the city docks.
 The ship channel intersects the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway just north of Calcasieu Lake.
 The Ship Channel has a project depth of 40 feet and a bottom width of 400 feet.
North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) is a deep water mass formed in the North Atlantic Ocean.
 Thermohaline circulation of the world's oceans involves the flow of warm surface waters from the southern hemisphere into the North Atlantic.
 Water flowing northward becomes modified through evaporation and mixing with other water masses, leading to increased salinity.
 When this water reaches the North Atlantic it cools and sinks through convection, due to its decreased temperature and increased salinity resulting in increased density.
 NADW is the outflow of this thick deep layer, which can be detected by its high salinity, high oxygen content, nutrient minima, and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
 CFCs are anthropogenic substances that enter the surface of the ocean from gas exchange with the atmosphere.
 This distinct composition allows its path to be traced as it mixes with Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW), which in turn fills the deep Indian Ocean and part of the South Pacific.
 NADW and its formation is essential to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), which is responsible for transporting large amounts of water, heat, salt, carbon, nutrients and other substances from the Tropical Atlantic to the Mid and High Latitude Atlantic.
 In the conveyor belt model of thermohaline circulation of the world's oceans, the sinking of NADW pulls the waters of the North Atlantic drift northward; however, this is almost certainly an oversimplification of the actual relationship between NADW formation and the strength of the Gulf Stream/North Atlantic drift.
