The two-color estuary of some of the world's largest rivers!

The Dhaka Times Desk The meeting place of two rivers is called an estuary. Generally, the confluence of estuaries is best understood for large rivers. These estuaries are particularly remarkable because of the difference in currents and the color of the river water. Today we will highlight some such estuary for the readers.

1. Estuary of the Thomson and Fraser rivers in Canada

The Thomson River is one of the longest rivers in British Columbia. Also worth mentioning is the river's rapids and side passes. It joins the Fraser River. The clear water of the Thomson River makes its estuary well understood. But the extra silt of the Fraser River has given it muddy water.

2. Green and Colorado Rivers in the United States

The Colorado River flows through seven states in the United States. It is more popular for its gorges and waterfalls. It is much cleaner than the Green River. The Green River on the other hand carries excess silt making its water muddy. The Green River and the Colorado River meet in Canyonlands National Park in Utah, USA.

3. The confluence of Alokananda and Bhagirathi rivers in India

Aloknanda and Bhagirathi rivers both originate in the Himalayas, the waters of these two rivers hold special significance for Hindus. The Alokananda river passes 114 miles from the Alokananda valley when it joins the Bhagirathi river.

4. Estuary of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers

The Mississippi is the longest river in the world, stretching from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico, with a red-green color in its waters. The Ohio River is a tributary of the Mississippi River.

5. The confluence of the Xiling and Huangho Rivers

Xiling River is the most winding river in China. It is particularly popular with fishermen as a large proportion of fishermen catch fish here. It is clear from the Huangho River. Hwangho is the longest river in Asia. The confluence of the Xiling and Huangho Rivers is particularly significant to the Buddhist community.

6. Mosel and Rhine estuary in Germany

The Moselle flows through Luxembourg, France and Germany. It crosses the Alps before joining the Rhine. Entering Europe, it joins the Rhine in Germany. The Rhine River is particularly popular because it is one of Germany's most commercial rivers.

7. Drava and Danube estuary, Croatia

The Danube is the longest river in Europe. It originates in the Black Sea and flows through ten countries to join the Drava River in Croatia. The Drava is one of the largest rivers in Europe.

8. Geneva is the confluence of the Rhône and Arve rivers

The Rhone is one of Europe's most specialized commercial rivers. A large part of Europe's trade flows through the Rhone River. It flows through France and the Swiss Alps. It is joined by the Arve River in Geneva, Switzerland. The water of the Arve river is quite muddy, on the other hand the water of the Rhone river is a beautiful blue.

In our country also major rivers like Padma, Meghna, Yamuna and Brahmaputra meet each other. This confluence can be understood because of the difference in the color of the water.
