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.
