A water sport is a form of recreation where water (other than drinking water) is an essential aspect of the activity. These water sports should not be confused with watersports, as in urolagnia.
For a list of such sports, divided according the participants' position at, below, or above the surface of the water, see list of water sports.
Information in the following areas applies to several distinct water sports in each case:
Water set aside for wildlife, fish, recreation and aesthetics is a worthy use of water, to be considered along with water serving municipal, agricultural and industrial purposes.
Water is scarce in the desert, a fact of life affecting all activities in the region, whether pursued for profit, comfort or recreation.
Waterrecreation activities vary in their desert appropriateness, from fishing, hiking and river running, which are basically non-consumptive water uses, to visiting the Breakers water park in Tucson, a large constructed water facility, that boasts "the worlds largest wave-action pool," with 1.3 million gallons of water and four-foot waves.
