The maximum height reached by a rising tide. The high water is due to the periodic tidal forces and the effects of meteorological, hydrologic, and/or oceanographic conditions. For tidal datum computational purposes, the maximum height is not considered a high water unless it contains a tidal high water.
(HW): Maximum height reached by a rising TIDE. The height may be solely due to the periodic tidal forces or it may have superimposed upon it the effects of prevailing meteorological conditions. Nontechnically, also called the high tide.
The highest point on land which the water will rise. Many times a legal marker used to determine where work on land versus work in the water begins.
Maximum height reached by a rising tide. The height may be due solely to the periodic tidal forces or it may have superimposed upon it the effects of prevailing meteorological conditions. Use of the "high tide" is discouraged.
River flow above an expected average. Makes the currents faster. Some rapids get easier, others become more difficult
(abbreviated HW; also called high tide). The highest limit of the surface water level reached by the rising tide. High water is caused by the astronomic tide-producing forces and/or the effects of meteorological, hydrologic and/or oceanographic conditions.
The maximum height reached by a rising water level. The high water is due to the periodic water level forces and the effects of meteorological, hydrologic, and/or lake conditions.
Maximum flood stage of stream or lake; periodic crest stage of tide. Historic HW is stage recorded or otherwise known.
High Water is an album by Brooklyn, New York rapper and producer El-P, released on March 9, 2004 (see 2004 in music) on the Thirsty Ear label. Made in conjunction with jazz pianist Matthew Shipp and the group for which he is artistic director, The Blue Series Continuum, the album is a striking departure from El-P's usual style, completely eschewing conventional ideas of hip-hop in favour of electronically-tinged jazz fusion collaborations.
"High Water (For Charley Patton)" is a song from Bob Dylan's Love and Theft. The song draws it's title from the Charley Patton song High Water Rising, which is one of many songs based on the 1927 Louisiana flood. Other songs about the event include Memphis Minnie's When the Levee Breaks (later recorded by Led Zeppelin), and Randy Newman's Louisiana 1927.
