Aside from direction of flow, the riparian areas differ. In the eastern United States, precipitation is much greater and riparian areas can maintain more lush vegetation than the more arid regions of the western United States. Because of the higher precipitation received in the eastern United States, even the terrestrial upland ecosystems can maintain lush vegetation. As a result, it is difficult to define the boundaries between riparian areas and terrestrial uplands in the eastern United States. In contrast, in most of the western United States and particularly in the southwest, the transition between riparian and upland terrestrial systems is easily identifiable. This distinction is abrupt because the surrounding terrestrial habitat is much drier than the riparian area. Riparian areas in the arid western United States have different plant composition but are also more lush than their adjacent uplands. Another important difference between the eastern and western United States that influences riparian areas are the pathways that water follows to reach streams. In the eastern United States, more water infiltrates the soil resulting in more subsurface flow reaching the stream and thus more soil moisture. In the western United States, there is more overland flow reaching the stream.

Is it true that most rivers rivers in the northern hemisphere flow south and the rivers in the southern hemisphere flow south?

You would have to look very hard at many maps to answer this one, but at first glance I don't think that it's true. What about all those rivers that run East/West, or West/East? What about the River Severn which starts off running NorthEast, but ends up running SouthWest? What about the Yellow River in China which altered course in 1852 over its final 300 miles, previously flowing East with a bit of South, now flowing NorthEast?
