Rivers

We will learn that rivers and river systems, are dynamic; changing the landscape in visible and at times dramatic ways. We will begin by examining the journey of a river through its upper, middle and lower course; from its source in the mountains, through the meanders of flatter land, to the estuary and its mouth.
