A situation in which a liquid or air does not move or flow.

The black colour of the water is due to stagnation.

“Blocked drains resulting in water stagnation” “clotting in blood vessels is associated with stagnation of the blood.”

Lack of activity, growth, or development.

“A period of economic stagnation” “there is a risk of intellectual stagnation.”

In terms of recreation, culture, education, and even rural industries, the period was characterized as much by development and change as by stagnation and decline.
