Shallow is an elevation of the bottom in the sea, river, lake, which impedes navigation. It is a type of an underwater relief where the depth of the water is low compared to that of the surrounding points.
Usually formed by sand or pebble deposits, can also be of volcanic origin or the result of human or animal activities.
Stranded near the shore of a reservoir or watercourse is called a shoal; the shallow ocean area adjacent to the mainland is the continental shelf.
Shallows can be permanently hidden under water or appear on the surface of the water periodically (for example, during low tide in the seas, changes in the water level in rivers from water content) in the form of islands, sediments, side streams, spits, etc.
On river shoals, if possible, to cross the river on foot, or by land transport, arrange fords.

In oceanography, geomorphology, and earth sciences, a shoal is a natural submerged ridge, bank, or bar that consists of, or is covered by, sand or other unconsolidated material, and rises from the bed of a body of water to near the surface. Often it refers to those submerged ridges, banks, or bars that rise near enough to the surface of a body of water as to constitute a danger to navigation. Shoals are also known as sandbanks, sandbars, or gravelbars. Two or more shoals that are either separated by shared troughs or interconnected by past or present sedimentary and hydrographic processes are referred to as a shoal complex.
