Rivers are one of nature’s most exciting features. They can be hugely powerful with dangerous rapids and waterfalls and can over-flood, destroying anything that stand in their way. Some are used for making electricity and transporting goods from place-to-place and others are calm and picturesque, perfect for canoeing or sailing down.
