Many rivers are born in higher areas of land, or uplands. Rainwater, melting snow, and water oozing out of bogs trickles into streams. As they flow downhill, these streams meet other streams and a river is formed. Some rivers begin in the lowlands- their water comes from natural springs that rise from subterranean water stores, such as chalk formations.
