river junction
Streams becoming one
A river junction is the point where two rivers or streams meet and merge into one.
The smaller waterway typically joins the larger, though when rivers of similar size converge, either name may continue downstream: The city sits at the junction of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers.
Also called a confluence.
