Rivers flow across every continent on our planet, shaping the land and bringing life. Towns, cities and entire civilisations have grown up on their banks, from the Ancient Mesopotamians 5,000 years ago.

Explore the river’s geography, discover the unique wildlife it supports, see how the waterways have shaped our world – and how we have shaped them.
