border river
Stream between nations
A border river is a river that forms the boundary between two political territories—countries, states, or other jurisdictions.
The Rio Grande serves as a border river between the United States and Mexico; the Oder between Germany and Poland.
Border rivers often create complications for jurisdiction, navigation rights, and resource management.
