What are some land-based geographical locations that include bodies of water in their names, yet are not bodies of water themselves?

They may be in any language, not just English.


Examples:

Aguascalientes, Mexico -- hot waters
China Lake, California USA
Fall River, Massachusetts USA
Fall River Mills, California USA
Ocean City, Maryland USA

    Dry Creek, South Australia.

    Do occasional bodies of water count? Lake Eyre and Lake Gairdner do have water in them on the rare occasions that it rains in the Australian desert, but those occasions are so rare that both are frequently used as venues for World Land Speed record attempts.

      Only locations that are not actual bodies of water count, so a temporary or occasional body of water would be excluded. Thank you for asking for clarification.
