main stem
In hydrology, a mainstem (or trunk) is "the primary downstream segment of a river, as contrasted to its tributaries". Water enters the mainstem from the river's drainage basin, the land area through which the mainstem and its tributaries flow.. A ...
(or principal) river of a catchment is given, left-bank tributaries are indicated by (L), and right-bank tributaries by (R). Note that, in general usage, the 'left (or right) bank of a river' refers to the left (or right) hand bank as seen when looking downstream. Where a named river is formed by the confluence of two differently named rivers, these are labelled as (Ls) and (Rs) for the left and right forks. A prime example is the formation of the
River Taff from the Taf Fawr and the Taf Fechan at
Cefn Coed-y-cymmer

.
The list includes more or less every watercourse named on
Ordnance Survey mapping and thus many of the
main rivers of
Wales (as defined by
Natural Resources Wales ). Difficulties arise otherwise in determining what should and what should not be included.
Certain names are encountered frequently and particular care should be taken to differentiate between the various occurrences of Clydach, Clywedog and of Dulas for example as well as those whose names refer perhaps to the colour of their waters e.g. Afon ''Goch'' (''red'' river), Afon ''Ddu'' (''black/dark'' river) and Afon ''Wen'' (''white/light'' river).

Longest rivers in Wales
This is a table of the longest rivers wholly or partially in Wales.
[Encyclopædia Britannica. 1911. "Wales"]
Rivers only partly in Wales are included in this table in ''italics''. Note that river lengths given by different authorities vary due to the different ways in which the measurement is made or indeed estimated. That rivers are partly fractal#In nature, fractal in nature accounts for some variation and lengths can also vary slightly over time as meanders expand or are cut off where rivers run through broad flood-plains.
