This is an ambiguous question as there are all kinds of way we can describe river flows.
For example, in the US there is what we call the "continental divide." It's located in the western US mountains. And on the eastern side of that divide all the rivers eventually empty into the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic Ocean. In other words, all the rivers east of the continental divide flow generally eastward. And as you might guess, all the rivers west of the divide flow westward into the Pacific Ocean.
But then there are river specific flow patterns as well. They all flow downhill because their flow is based on the pull of gravity. But how they flow, fast, slowly, smoothly, rapids, eddies, and such depends on the topography that the river runs through. And man-made dams and levees can alter the natural flow of rivers as well.
