Diarheic river

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Diarheic river or Diarëic river ( Greek  διά dia 'through'; ῥεῖν rhein 'flow') is a river that originates in a humid climate and flows through an arid area as a foreigner river, but ultimately flows into the sea itself or as part of a river system . So it rises in moist areas, flows through dry areas and releases part of its water there as seepage water or through evaporation , often in connection with irrigation . The rest of the water flows continuously as surface water into the sea, regardless of the season and the dryness of the arid zone . Examples are the Nile , Niger and Colorado Rivers .
