1 The source of a river may be a spring, often on a hill, mountain, glacier, or another high place. A spring is water that flows out from under the ground. 2  The source of a river may be a lake where lots of water from small streams gathers when it rains or snows.  A river may begin in mountains where there is snow.
The passage where the river flows is called the river bed and the earth on each side is called a river bank. A river begins on high ground or in hills or mountains and flows down from the high ground to the lower ground, because of gravity. A river begins as a small stream, and gets bigger the farther it flows. The water in a river is called fresh water.
