River

A river is a natural flowing watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, sea, lake or another river. In some cases a river flows into the ground and becomes dry at the end of its course without reaching another body of water. Small rivers can be referred to using names such as stream, creek, brook, rivulet, and rill. There are no official definitions for the generic term river as applied to geographic features, although in some countries or communities a stream is defined by its size. Many names for small rivers are specific to geographic location; examples are "run" in some parts of the United States, "burn" in Scotland and northeast England, and "beck" in northern England. Sometimes a river is defined as being larger than a creek, but not always: the language is vague.

Rivers are part of the hydrological cycle. Water generally collects in a river from precipitation through a drainage basin from surface runoff and other sources such as groundwater recharge, springs, and the release of stored water in natural ice and snowpacks (e.g. from glaciers). Potamology is the scientific study of rivers while limnology is the study of inland waters in general.

Rivers (Holidays in the danger zone)

Holidays in the Danger Zone: Rivers is a five-part travel documentary on dangerous rivers, part of the Holidays in the Danger Zone series, produced and broadcast by BBC This World. Written and presented by Ben Anderson, and produced by Will Daws. It was first broadcast between 21 February - 7 March 2006, on BBC Two.

  • Episode 1: Amazon
  • Episode 2: Ganges
  • Episode 3: Euphrates
  • Episode 4: The Jordan
  • Episode 5: Congo
  • In the series, Anderson journeys down some of the world's most dangerous rivers, exploring life and the daily struggle to exist beside rivers that havw been the course of so much political unrest. Starting with the Amazon, Anderson journey takes him into the Andes, where the effects of altitude sickness at the source of the Amazon take its toll on him. Then in India, Anderson visits the rapidly melting Satopanth Glaicer that feeds the Ganges, its possibly impacted with Pakistan over control over water rights, before visiting the holy city of Varanasi where the massive amount of burials and cremations has caused the Ganges to become highly polluted; it is the fifth most polluted river of the world as of 2007, and a modern health hazard to everything that depends on the river for life. Anderson then to the Euphrates & The Jordan, both ancient rivers, steeped in history of a troubled region, before ending on on Congo, which like the nation it cuts though has seen much violence in resent years.

    Rivers

    by: Bipolar Sunshine

    Maybe you love me, maybe you don't
    Maybe we get along or maybe we don't
    Or maybe we'll make it work, Lord knows I've tried
    Even though you scared down the middle of my heart.
    For my mistakes I had to press one, must play
    But my actions will cover for my decay
    Rivers will fall back
    Gonna take you back to the first time I met you
    I tried my best but I'm so sorry I upset you
    You know what I've become
    You know what I've become
    Been low but I've been higher
    Been low but I've been higher
    Been low but I've been higher
    And higher and higher.
    So am I the reason or maybe the cause
    Gonna see why I let her alone outside my clothes
    Boy, listen, we must try and yeah, I know
    And as you scar down the middle of my heart
    For my mistakes I had to press one, must play
    But my actions will cover for my decay
    Rivers will fall back
    Gonna take you back to the first time I met you
    I tried my best but I'm so sorry I upset you.
    Been low but I've been higher
    Been low but I've been higher
    Been low but I've been higher
    And higher and higher
    Been low but I've been higher
    Been low but I've been higher
    Been low but I've been higher
    And higher and higher
    Maybe you love me, maybe you don't
    Maybe we get along or maybe we don't
    Oh baby, we'll make it work, Lord knows I've tried
    Even though you scared down the middle of my heart
    Been low but I've been higher
    Been low but I've been higher
    Been low but I've been higher
    And higher and higher.
    Been low but I've been higher
    Been low but I've been higher
    Been low but I've been higher
    And higher and higher.
