A canal basin is (particularly in the United Kingdom) an expanse of waterway alongside or at the end of a canal, and wider than the canal, constructed to allow boats to moor or unload cargo without impeding the progress of other traffic, and to allow room for turning, thus serving as a winding hole. For inland waterways, a basin may be thought of as a land-locked harbour. A basin was often associated with wharves around its perimeter, to support commercial users. In modern times, canal basins are more usually used to moor residential and recreational narrowboats.

comment
  • Un bassin est un petit plan d'eau, le plus souvent artificiel. La taille d'un bassin public, dans un jardin d'agrément dans une ville, par exemple, peut varier grandement. Dans les aquariums et parcs zoologiques, les bassins destinés à héberger des animaux aquatiques ou semi-aquatiques peuvent atteindre de grandes tailles. Aussi, le terme bassin est parfois utilisé comme synonyme de « piscine ».
  • Ein Bassin (französisch, Aussprache: [baˈsɛ̃]) ist ein künstlich angelegtes Wasserbecken. Es wird unter anderem in der geometrischen Gartenkunst verwendet, da es im Gegensatz zum künstlichen See nur aus geometrischen Basisformen (z. B.: Rechteck, Kreis, Ellipse) oder deren Kombination (z. B.: Rechteck mit aufgesetztem Halbkreis) besteht. Auch in der Tierhaltung/Zoo werden große Wasserbecken als Bassin bezeichnet. Ebenso können Wasserbecken für Filmaufnahmen oder für das Schwerelosigkeitstraining von Astronauten als Bassin bezeichnet werden.
