		Rivers begin at their source in higher ground, either rising from a spring, forming from glacial meltwater, flowing from a body of water such as a lake, or simply from damp, boggy places where the soil is waterlogged.
		River management is an ongoing activity as rivers tend to 'undo' the modifications made by man. Dredged channels silt up, sluice mechanisms deteriorate with age, levees and dams may suffer seepage or catastrophic failure.

		Rivers begin at their source in higher ground, either rising from a spring, forming from glacial, flowing from a body of water such as a lake, or simply from damp, boggy places where the soil is.
		In arid areas rivers sometimes end by losing water to evaporation and percolation into dry, porous material such as sand, soil, or rock.
		This leads to faster and therefore greater overland flow (also known as surface run off) and therefore, there are flash floods as the decrease.
