Blackwater

Blackwater refers to water that has a dark or tea-stained appearance, typically resulting from the leaching of organic compounds and tannins from decaying plant matter such as leaves and wood. In the wild, many aquatic ecosystems, particularly those in tropical regions, are characterized by blackwater conditions. This type of water is often associated with slow-moving rivers and streams that flow through forests, where the decomposition of organic material influences the water's chemistry.
