- The course
 We can
Distinguish 3 - The flow
elements in
a river - The flow regime
 The course of a river is the route which a river
takes from its source to the mouth.
This is
the
source of
the river
This is
the
mouth of
the river
This is the
COURSE of
the river
 There are
3 courses:
Upper course
Middle course
Lower course
 It is near the source.
Here, the river is narrow.
The river bed is steep, so the water moves fast.
 Here, the river is wider. The river bed is flatter,
so the water flows slowly.
 In the middle course, the river forms
curves. These curves are called
meanderings.
This is a
meandering
 It is near the mouth of the river.
The river is wide here. The river bed is very flat,
so the water moves very slowly.
What is the flow of a river?
 It is the amount of water that a river
carries.
The more precipitacion there is, the greater the
flow will be.
 Water can also be found in other places on the
surface of the Earth.
 Torrents
 Lakes
 Reservoirs
 They are streams of water which form after
heavy rains
 They are large bodies of water surrounded by
land.
 They are man – made lakes.
They produce energy, irrigate fields and supply
water to urban areas. Canals and irrigation
chanels are used for transporting water from a
reservoir to other places.
