The water flowing in a stream or river is fed by numerous smaller streams, which are fed by even smaller streams that collect water from melting snow or ice up in the mountains, from springs, and possibly from human wasterwater sources. The bottoms of rivers are also below the water table in many places, so there will always be water at that level.

This is because there a little streams which leads to the river and water can get collected by melting snow's or even springs. these can then keep flowing to the river but i t will take time as the ground is very dry.

Why a river can keep flowing even in dry very dry weather??

Because every little river or stream you see, there's always a bigger version that has water flowing to it, such as a pond or the ocean.

because water goes down hill, and so of course rivers are flowing downhill too, so they keep on going no matter what, except for when the water in them is totally drain

Why are rivers dangerous?

Rivers often flood every spring or summer each year, causing damage to houses and yards. You can drown in the river if the river is wide and deep enough, even if you are one of the best swimmers. Most rivers will get over 8 ft deep to even a few hundreds of feet. There have been reports from fishermen about carnivorous fish, water snakes, and even alligators being found in rivers. The bacteria and some water plants from a river can get you sick when you swim in. Large rapids in rivers can get you wet easily and possibly trip you down on the river.


Why is Jordan river getting smaller every year?

The decrease in flow of the Jordan River is mainly due to human activities such as diversion for agriculture, industry, and urban use. Climate change and increasing demand for water resources have exacerbated the situation, leading to the shrinking of the river. Efforts are underway to improve water management practices and increase the river's flow to ensure its sustainability.
