My opinion: All gods are all gods. The god of the sea is the god of the sea for the whole world. Different people have different names for him, but he is still the god of the sea. It becomes more an issue of wanting or not wanting outsiders as a part of your "family".

My opinion is meaningless to anyone besides me, so disregard at will.

But what about the God of bodies of water in a particular area, say the Baltic or the great lakes?

There are no gods of any particular place or item only spirits, gods are universal by nature - yet the interface to them can be local or individual

I'm not sure what your question is. Is there a god of lakes? I'm sure there is, and there are probably a plethora of names for him or her. I found that most of the "names" of gods in different languages turn out to be titles instead of proper names, so this makes me think that each group of people with different languages all identify that entity or energy in their own terms. So the lake god/goddess of the Aztecs is probably the same god/goddess of the Greeks called by different titles such as Lord of the Lakes, or Queen of the Ponds or whatever.
