A river is a large natural waterway . The source of a river may be a lake , a spring , or a collection of small streams, known as headwaters . From their source, all rivers flow downhill, typically terminating in the ocean . The mouth, or lower end, of a river is known as its base level .
A river's water is normally confined to a channel , made up of a stream bed between bank s. Most rainfall on land passes through a river on its way to the ocean . Smaller side streams that join a river are tributaries . The scientific term for any flowing natural waterway is a stream ; so in technical language, the term river is just a shorthand way to refer to a large stream.
