river water is often brown because as the water stirs up the silt, or mud, at the bottom, it often gives a brown surface appearance. so this brown coloration is just result of what happens naturally in moving water.

∙ 12y agoA river appears brown because underneath the water is mud, or there can be brown rocks (depends on where you are). It doesn't always necessarily mean the water is dirty. You can check by scooping some water in your hands and examining it to check if its brown or clear. Sometimes its just nature's way of coloring water.
