Ride the rapids with Bill Nye in the “Rivers and Streams” episode.

Most rivers start high in mountains or hills. Rain, snow, fog and melting glaciers make little trickles or “rills” of water. The rills come together to make streams, and streams come together to make rivers. All that water usually ends up in the ocean.
