Rock Flat Creek
Rock Flat Creek is a Perennial stream, watercourse that is part of the Murrumbidgee River, Murrumbidgee drainage basin, catchment within the Murray–Darling basin. It is located in the Monaro, New South Wales, Monaro region of New South Wales, Australia. Course and features The Rock Flat Creek (technically a river) rises below One Tree Hill, on the lower slopes of the Snowy Mountains, part of the Great Dividing Range. The creek flows generally north by west before reaching its confluence with the Cooma Creek just upstream from that creek's confluence to form the Numeralla River (itself a tributary of the Murrumbidgee River), north of the town of . The creek descends over its watercourse, course. The Monaro Highway crosses the creek near the locality of Milton Park.

The spring water issues from near the base ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mouth (river)
A river mouth is where a river flows into a larger body of water, such as another river, a lake/reservoir, a bay/gulf, a sea, or an ocean. At the river mouth, sediments are often deposited due to the slowing of the current reducing the carrying capacity of the water. The water from a river can enter the receiving body in a variety of different ways. The motion of a river is influenced by the relative density of the river compared to the receiving water, the rotation of the earth, and any ambient motion in the receiving water, such as tides or seiches. If the river water has a higher density than the surface of the receiving water, the river water will plunge below the surface. The river water will then either form an underflow or an interflow within the lake. However, if the river water is lighter than the receiving water, as is typically the case when fresh river water flows into the sea, the river water will float along the surface of the receiving water as an overflow.
