The somewhat related term "bank" refers to the land alongside or sloping down to a river (riverbank) or to a body of water smaller than a lake. "Bank" is also used in some parts of the world to refer to an artificial ridge of earth intended to retain the water of a river or pond; in other places this may be called a levee.

littoral zone


Explanation:
"Priobalje
Priobalje je dio mora, jezera ili rijeke uz obalu. To je područje obale koje se proteže od crte visoke vode (plime ili visokog vodostaja) do crte niske vode (oseke ili niskog vodostaja). No, izraz "priobalje" se koristi i za područja koja mogu biti znatno udaljena od područja između plime i oseke (na moru) ili između visokog i niskog vodostaja (na rijekama i jezerima) i ne postoji jedinstvena definicija značenja toga izraza. ..."

"Littoral zone
The littoral zone is the part of a sea, lake or river that is close to the shore. In coastal environments the littoral zone extends from the high water mark, which is rarely inundated, to shoreline areas that are permanently submerged. It always includes this intertidal zone and is often used to mean the same as the intertidal zone. However, the meaning of "littoral zone" can extend well beyond the intertidal zone. ..."
