Freshwater ecosystems are categorized according to the speed of water flow. There are lentic ecosystems of nonflowing water and lotic ecosystems of flowing water.

Lentic habitats include ponds and lakes where the water is calm or standing. In contrast, lotic habitats include rivers and streams with running water, differing significantly in volume, speed, oxygen content, and temperature. This classification helps understand the distinct ecological dynamics in these water bodies.
