Is this the canonical definition of a river? If it is, I need to redefine a 
lot of rivers! I tend to mark it as a river if it has a name that includes the 
word "river" or if most people refer to it as "the river" or "sapa", but 
downgrade it to stream around the place it becomes so small that you can 
(easily) drive across it  - where there is a ford. Admittedly, I drive across 
rivers too (at least my definition of river), but that's just because I like 
to play in water (and find it fascinating to get stuck occationally)...
Would you say that here in Pampanga, it's pretty much only Pampanga river that 
is a river and that everything else is a stream?
