Home River V Stream - what's the difference?

[BOXtheFOX]

What is the difference between a river and a stream when it comes to a home insurance question about living near a river?

 

[Ravima]

if in doubt , ask your insurer

Streams flow into rivers, rivers dont flow into streams............i would think. It is unlikely you will get a definitive answer, so i would take Ravima's advice.

Sounds right. Rivers flow into the sea or maybe a lake.

but when does a stream become a river?

but when does a stream become a river?

When it grows up and meets up with other streams.....and they all flow off together as a river into the sunset!!!!!

but when does a stream become a river?

When you are trying to claim off of the insurance.

Does the river/stream have a name?
