National River Day takes place every year on February 2 to celebrate all the Rivers across the globe.
River is a gender-neutral English name that means “Stream of water that flows to the sea.” It is derived from the Latin word ‘ripa,’ which means ‘riverbank.’ A river is a “naturally flowing watercourse that flows towards an ocean, sea, lake, or another river, and is usually freshwater.” In some instances, a river may flow into the ground and become dry at the end of its course before reaching another source of water. Creeks, rivulets, brooks, streams, and rills are all terms used to describe small rivers.
