The water in them is constantly moving, picking up particles along the way. The water in a river also contains micro-organisms, both plant and animal life, alike... bacteria, fungus, insects, and so much more... I suggest you obtain, from any river, just one drop of water and examine it under a microscope... I guarantee your perception of rivers will be changed forever!
