A river is a subclass of watercourse and a facet of a drainage system. It has water as a part and is partially coincident with a stream. A river is greater than a brook. It is different from Reka.

Rivers have uses including water sport, fishing, boating, and water transport. They are used by watercraft, aquatic organisms, swimmers, and fishers. Model items include Amazon, Yangtze, River Thames, and Congo.

Un río es una corriente de agua que fluye con continuidad por un cauce en la superficie terrestre o bien puede ser subterráneo. Pueden ser tanto naturales como artificiales.Posee un caudal determinado, rara vez es constante a lo largo del año, y desemboca en el mar, en un lago o en otro río, en cuyo caso se denomina afluente. La parte final de un río es su desembocadura. Algunas veces terminan en zonas desérticas donde sus aguas se pierden por infiltración y evaporación (ver río alóctono). Los ríos forman parte del ciclo hidrológico. El agua generalmente se acumula en un río de la precipitación a través de una cuenca hidrográfica de la escorrentía superficial y otras fuentes como la recarga de agua subterránea, manantiales y la liberación de agua almacenada en hielo natural y capas de nieve.
