 "IFS officer shares gripping video of 'how rivers are made'; internet reacts")
Ever wondered where rivers come from? The natural flowing watercourses that provide freshwater streams. To dispel your suspicions, Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Parveen Kaswan is at your aid. On Twitter, the officer-turned-conservationist shared a fascinating snapshot of how the rivers are made while patrolling the area on foot with his team. In addition, he also pointed out how a group of gaurs, known as the ‘Indian bison’, wait curiously beside the river-bed to quench their thirst.
The clip shows a barren riverbed being slowly covered with arriving water, till it fills the entire area at its designed pace. Birds chirp in the background as the officer provides a spacious view of nature. The trees in the forest behind him, the sun in the sky, and the members of his team standing overlooking the newly born river. He captioned the post: **“**This is how rivers are made. Forest is the mother of rivers. Today morning at 6 AM. Foot patrolling with the team."

“Rivers are not water sources; they are destinations of water. In forests with good biomass, rainwater is slowly released during the monsoon. The forest provides water to most human habitations," another user wrote.
