Rivers & Waterways: Online Water Crosswords

River crosswords trace the path of water from source to mouth, and along the way tell the story of civilisations that built their lives for centuries along one particular bank. The clues cover the names of major rivers and their tributaries, terms like delta, floodplain and waterfall, as well as cities that grew up exactly where a river makes a convenient bend. This kind of puzzle suits students in geography class and anyone who loves travelling along water, whether that means a cruise down a major river or a walk beside a small stream back home. Some questions are simple and cover the world's best known rivers, others go into detail on specific river systems and their importance to a region's economy. The topic pairs well with the mountains section, since that is usually where the planet's largest rivers actually begin.
