Here are 5 usage examples for the word "waters":
A watermill is a structure that uses the energy of moving water to perform tasks, typically grinding grain into flour or powering machinery. It consists of a wheel or turbine, which is turned by the flow of water, and a series of gears or other mechanisms that transfer the energy to a millstone or other device, such as a hammer, to perform the desired task.
A waterpipe is a long tube with a bowl or container at one end and a hose or spout at the other end that is used to smoke tobacco or other substances, typically in a relaxing and social setting. <br><br>In a broader sense, a waterpipe can also refer to a system for moving water through a pipe, such as a water delivery system in a building.

Waterproofing refers to the process of making a material or surface completely or highly resistant to water or moisture.

A waterspout is a rotating column of water that forms over the ocean when a strong, thunderstorm cloud, called a cumulonimbus cloud, is present. Waterspouts are essentially the aquatic equivalent of tornadoes, and they typically form when rising columns of warm, moist air interact with the cooler atmospheric conditions near the top of the cloud.<br><br>The rotation of the waterspout occurs due to the Coriolis effect, which causes rotating air masses to develop in conjunction with the intensification of the thunderstorm. The rotating column of water can extend from the base of the cloud to the surface of the ocean, creating a swirling effect that can reach speeds of up to 150 km/h (93 mph).<br><br>Waterspouts can be classified into two main categories: those that form in association with a parent thunderstorm, known as composite waterspouts, and those that form independently of any thunderstorm, known as standalone waterspouts.
