Rivers have their headwaters in elevated areas such as mountains, hills, or highlands, where precipitation accumulates and flows downhill. These areas often include springs, melting snow, or rainfall runoff, which converge to form streams that eventually lead to the main river. The headwaters are crucial for the river's flow and ecosystem, serving as the source of water that supports various habitats downstream.
