I just have a stupid question related to some flaws in my english... Are "water courses" only rivers and the like, or could it be lakes as well ?

I ask the question because in french "cours d'eau" only refers to rivers, whether they go up to the sea or not, so I thought it might be a false friend...

Watercourse (noun):
1. a stream of water, as a river or brook.
2. the bed of a stream that flows only seasonally.
3. a natural channel conveying water.
4. a channel or canal made for the conveyance of water.

(From dictionary.com)

The important part of the definition seems to be "flowing" water.
