More About channel types
Rivers and streams are very old. They have been here for a long time. They change the land as they flow. Some rivers are big, and some are small.
These rivers help us in many ways. We use them for fun, like swimming. They also give water to plants and animals.
In the future, we can learn more. We can help keep rivers clean. This will help fish and plants grow strong.
