For the water waves system we have shown the formation in finite time of
splash and splat singularities. A splash singularity is when the
interface remain smooth but self-intersects at a point and a splat
singularity is when it self-intersects along an arc. In this talk I will
discuss new results on stationary splash singularities for water waves
and in the case of a parabolic system a splash can also develop but not a
splat singularity.
