Why does a river turn muddy after a heavy rain?
A river turns muddy after heavy rain because the rain washes soil, sediment, and debris into the river, causing it to become turbid. The increased flow from the rain also stirs up sediment from the riverbed, further contributing to the muddy appearance of the water.
Why the water level in a river falls if there's no rain for months?
Unless rain is regularly falling at or near the area of the river's source, the level of water lower down will be lowered. During a long drought the river may even dry out completely.
How does rain affect runoff?
Rainfall can increase runoff by adding more water to the surface of the ground. If the ground is already saturated or impermeable, the excess water cannot infiltrate and will instead flow over the surface, causing runoff. Factors like soil permeability, slope of the land, and vegetation cover can also influence runoff.
How would A river confluence cause flooding?
A river confluence can cause flooding if both rivers experience high flow rates or if one river is blocked by debris at the confluence, causing water to back up and overflow its banks. Additionally, the merging of the two rivers can create a bottleneck that slows down the flow of water, increasing the risk of flooding during heavy rain events.
Why does clear water flowing down a river becomes muddy after rain?
I would assume it is from either the rain coming down and disrupting the ground beneath the waters surface. Or from it washing mud, or dirt, off the bank into the flowing water.

Where the river originates and how a river formed?
A river is originated up in the mountains. The river is created when snow or rain water goes downhill and begins to create a river. As the river goes downhill it cuts a v shaped valleys. When the river reaches a flatter slope it slows down and creates meanders. Then the river flows to its destination and deposits the sediment and rocks. Also known as deposition. Deposition can create oxbow lakes and deltas.
