A pool, pond, or small body of stagnant water, particularly in dry regions; a natural or artificial water depression.
From Spanish charca, possibly from pre-Roman Iberian languages, referring to the distinctive dry-climate water features found in Spain and similar regions.
Spanish ranchers and farmers used 'charca' for any precious water source—in arid landscapes, even a muddy pond became important enough to name specifically.
