Moravská Sázava
The Moravská Sázava is a river in the Czech Republic, a right tributary of the Morava River. It flows through the Pardubice and Olomouc regions. It is long. Etymology There are several theories about the origin of the name. One of the more likely theories says that the name could be derived from the Proto-Slavic verb ''sadjati'' (modern Czech ''sázet, usazovat''), meaning 'to sediment', 'to sink to the bottom'. According to another theory, the name has its basis in the Celtic word ''sathá'', which meant 'grove', 'forest', as well as 'swarming', 'flickering'. The attribute "Moravská" (indicating its affiliation both to Moravia and to the Morava River) distinguishes the river from the Sázava River. Characteristic The Moravská Sázava originates in the territory of Výprachtice in the Orlické Mountains at the elevation of and flows to Zvole, where it enters the Morava River at an elevation of .

List Of Rivers Of The Czech Republic
This is a list of rivers of the Czech Republic. Naming conventions Czech language distinguishes between large (river; in Czech '' řeka'') and small (stream, creek, brook; in Czech '' potok'') watercourses. River names are mostly self-standing one-word nouns. Stream names often consist of two words because they contain an adjective (usually stemming from physical properties (e.g. Černý potok – "black stream"), usage (e.g. Mlýnský potok – "mill stream") or derived from the location through which it flows (e.g. Rakovnický potok – "Rakovník stream"). These two-word names form an inseparable whole.

(In fact the Vltava also carries more water than the Elbe at their confluence.) Hierarchical list This is a hierarchica ...

Rivers Of The Olomouc Region
A river is a natural stream of fresh water that flows on land or inside caves towards another body of water at a lower elevation, such as an ocean, lake, or another river. A river may run dry before reaching the end of its course if it runs out of water, or only flow during certain seasons. Rivers are regulated by the water cycle, the processes by which water moves around the Earth. Water first enters rivers through precipitation, whether from rainfall, the runoff of water down a slope, the melting of glaciers or snow, or seepage from aquifers beneath the surface of the Earth. Rivers flow in channeled watercourses and merge in confluences to form drainage basins, or catchments, areas where surface water eventually flows to a common outlet. Rivers have a great effect on the landscape around them. They may regularly overflow their banks and flood the surrounding area, spreading nutrients to the surrounding area. Sediment or alluvium carried by rivers shapes the landscape aro ...
