On a map what color is for water?

When you look into an ocean or a lake, the water looks like it's blue. But, up close, water isn't really blue. It's only blue when you look at it in big groups, (like an ocean or a lake, a pond etc.), because the sky is blue, so the color of the sky makes a blue reflection on the water, making it look blue. So, on a map, if you drew water as clear, nobody would be able to tell there was anything there at all! So, water on a map is drawn blue instead.

Are all rivers blue?

no, the apparent blue color is actually the reflection of the sky in the water, if the water is clean the color of the sky will be reflected, blue or gray on a gray cloudy day, dark on a moonless night, silver reflecting the moonlight at night. Silt, alge, mud or other material in the water can also affect the color. Green Bay and the river flowing into in Wisconsin are in fact green from the green alge at certain times of the year. Its easy to see a color difference where two rivers meet and one is clean and one is slit laden.
