 | | The IJssel once was the lower part of the Oude IJssel ("Old IJssel", German Issel), a small river that rises in Germany and is now a 70 km long tributary of the IJssel, merging with the main IJssel at Doesburg. |
 | | A tributary (or affluent or confluent) is a contributory stream, a river that does not reach the sea, but joins another major river (a parent river), to which it contributes its waters, swelling its discharge. |
 | | A city is an urban area, differentiated from a town, village, or hamlet by size, population density, importance, or legal status. |
