Rivers can appear blue due to several factors, primarily the way light interacts with the water and its contents. Clear water reflects blue wavelengths of light more effectively, especially in deeper sections. Additionally, the presence of certain minerals, phytoplankton, or dissolved organic matter can enhance the blue appearance. For example, glacial meltwater often appears turquoise due to sediment and minerals suspended in it.
