The vegetated area next to a river or stream is called the riparian zone. This zone plays a crucial role in maintaining the health of aquatic ecosystems by providing habitat for wildlife, stabilizing banks, and filtering pollutants from runoff. Riparian zones help regulate water temperature and contribute to the overall biodiversity of the area.
an area drained by a river is called pooo lol
The area where a freshwater river or stream enters the ocean is called an estuary. It is a coastal area of brackish water formed when freshwater enters the ocean.

The area where a river originates is called its source. It is typically a high elevation location such as a mountain or a glacier where water begins to flow and eventually forms a stream or river. This is the starting point of a river's journey towards its mouth where it empties into a larger body of water.

It is called a delta.
Yes, it does. The source (where the river first collects) is around an area called Plynlimon in Wales, it is difficult to say any river has but one definitive starting point. The River, as all rivers do, starts from rain. The The river is produced by rainfall on the Cambrian Mountains. This rain soaks into the ground and soon becomes a stream. This stream feeds the source.
No, it's a watershed.
A shallow place in a river is called a ford if it is used as a place to wade across to the other side. A shallow place can also be called a sandbar if the water does not cover all of the sand in a river or stream.
