Rivers usually begin as a trickle of water high in hills or mountains. Some come from rainwater or melting snow. Most emerge from underground streams, formed after rain or snow seeps into the ground then bubbles back to the surface. As the water flows downhill, the trickle swells into a stream and then, as side streams called tributaries join it, into a wider river.
Material will travel faster in a river flowing down a steep slope. As the water slows down, the material will also slow down.
Flowing water typically has a greater impact on changing the land compared to frozen water. Flowing water can erode and reshape landscapes over time through processes like sediment transport and river deposition, while frozen water such as glaciers can also shape landforms but at a slower pace and often in different ways, such as carving valleys or creating moraines.
Increasing the steepness of the river's bed will have no direct effect on the size of the discharge of a stream. Discharge is primarily influenced by the volume of water flowing in the river. Steepness may impact the speed of the water flow and erosion processes, but it won't directly affect discharge size.

The physical interaction of flowing water and the natural channels of rivers and streams. Such processes play an essential and conspicuous role in the denudation of land surfaces and the transport of rock detritus from higher to lower levels.

The two effects produced by flowing water in a river are erosion, and a land formation known as a delta.
A river is a body of water flowing to the sea or a lake.
Water flowing over a cliff is called a waterfall.
