Rivers connect us ๐ง
Wherever you live, chances are a river runs through your story. From the Nile lighting up Egypt at night to the Zambezi thundering over Victoria Falls, rivers shape our landscapes, nourish our communities, and inspire our cultures.
Seen from space, their winding paths look like Earthโs veins โ lifelines carrying water, energy, and connection across continents. Thanks to satellites and astronauts aboard the
@ISS, we can follow these waterways in detail, track their changes, and work together to preserve them.
On World Rivers Day, we celebrate not just rivers themselves, but the global community that depends on them. Tell us in the comments: which river is part of your story?
