A river is generally a natural watercourse that runs perennially or seasonally from definite sources (e.g. hills, rivers, waterbodies), with defined banks, contributes to the water and sediment budget of the basin/catchment, and discharges into an outfall (e.g. rivers, waterbodies, Bay of Bengal). A socially and historically recognized watercourse will also be considered as a river.
