English to afrikaans meaning of

Die woordeboekbetekenis van die woord "rivier" is 'n groot, vloeiende watermassa wat oor die land beweeg en in 'n see, meer of 'n ander rivier uitmond. Riviere word tipies gevorm deur die ophoping van water uit reën, sneeusmelting of ondergrondse fonteine, en hulle speel 'n belangrike rol in die vorming van die landskap, die ondersteuning van plant- en dierelewe en die verskaffing van water vir menslike gebruik. Riviere kan in grootte wissel van klein stroompies tot uitgestrekte waterweë wat duisende kilometers strek, en hulle word op elke kontinent aangetref.
