The most simplistic answer is that all the water in a river comes from the sky—and that is certainly true, as streamflow is one part of the water cycle. It is also true that most of the water flowing in rivers comes from precipitation runoff from the surrounding landscape (watershed).

The principal sources of water for the rivers are rain or precipitation, surface runoff, glaciers, melting of mountain ice, natural lakes and aquifers. The water emanating from these sources, gets channelized due to the land relief or terrain having slopes and natural channels. These could now be called river basins.

Question:

Answer:

The principal sources of water for the rivers are rain or precipitation, surface runoff, glaciers, melting of mountain ice, natural lakes and aquifers. The water emanating from these sources, gets channelized due to the land relief or terrain having slopes and natural channels. These could now be called river basins.

A river forms from water moving from a higher elevation to a lower elevation, all due to gravity. When rain falls on the land, it either seeps into the ground or becomes runoff, which flows downhill into rivers and lakes, on its journey towards the seas. Rivers eventually end up flowing into the oceans.
