This refers to a wide natural bed or channel through which water flows continuously or intermittently throughout the year.

Explanation:
Rivers are natural watercourses—wide beds or channels through which water flows, whether continuously or seasonally, across the landscape. The defining feature is the presence of a defined channel that carries water from sources toward seas or lakes, often with a current and ongoing drainage of land. This distinguishes a river from other water bodies: an estero is a shallow coastal, tidal waterway influenced by tides; a pool is a small, still body of water without a defined flowing channel; and a lake is a large inland body of water that is typically enclosed by land and not governed by a single flowing course.
