A 'bar' in a river refers to an accumulation of loose sand or shingle deposited out of the river where the river flow slackens for some reason.

During the year the shape of the bed of a large river alters as the flow of water in the river changes with the seasons and this causes the river to pick up and drop sediment from its bed and this has the effect of causing the mounds of sand to move. This movement of a bar of sand with time is called 'migrating'.
