Waterboarding is a form of torture which consists of immobilizing an individual and pouring water over his or her face to simulate drowning. Waterboarding has been used to obtain information, coerce confessions, and also to punish, and/or intimidate. It elicits the gag reflex, and can make the subject believe his or her death is imminent while not causing physical evidence of torture.
请问Waterboarding一词相应的中文是什么？

水刑,是指一种使犯人以为自己快被溺毙的刑讯方式，犯人被绑成脚比头高的姿势，脸部被毛巾盖住，然后把水倒在犯人脸上。有关专家说，这种酷刑会使犯人产生快要窒息和淹死的感觉。“水刑”自中世纪问世以来，一直被公认为是一种酷刑，在美国军方去年9月份修改过的审讯手册中，明确禁止使用“水刑”和其它被日内瓦公约禁止的“残忍、不人道、有损人格”的审讯手段。
