Rivers
A river is a substantial natural watercourse that flows through a defined channel toward another river, lake, wetland, sea, or inland basin. Its system may include tributaries, distributaries, floodplains, seasonal reaches, gorges, waterfalls, and deltas far beyond any single mapped park relationship. The distinction from a stream depends on local convention, scale, and source usage rather than one universal rule.
Valleys
A valley is an elongated area of lower ground between hills, mountains, ridges, or plateaus, commonly organized around a river, stream, glacier, or former drainage path. Valleys may be carved by flowing water or ice, controlled by faults and folds, or shaped by combinations of erosion and deposition. The type is broader than a narrow gorge and describes the containing landform rather than only the watercourse or settlement within it.
