Something big enough to be called a river can't start from a single well, it'll either come from a larger body of water - like a lake, or from several smaller streams convering into something that eventually becomes big enough to be called a river. In the latter case, deciding exactly where a river starts often get a bit difficult.

Either way, it's usually referred to as the "source" of a river.

Rivers usually end by emptying into another body of water. Either merging with another river, or draining into a lake, or the sea. Sometimes this is a fairly "clean" outlet, but if the land is very flat, the river can form a "delta" or an "estuary".
