Rainwater is carried from the hills down to the sea by rivers. If this did not 1 happen the land would be flooded. 
Rivers often help persons to travel and transport things from one place to another. That is why towns were sometimes built on the banks of large 5 rivers. Riverboats and barges are used in some countries to transport passengers and cargo. 
Rivers are also important to persons who live nearby and do not have access to tap water in their homes. Water for drinking, cooking and washing is then accessed from the river. Many families depend on this 10 ready source of water, even if they have to boil it for drinking purposes. 
Rivers supply many persons with food such as fish and shrimp. Freshwater fish can also be caught from the river. They make a delicious meal. Some persons just like to look at the beauty of a river, with its waterfalls, its rapids and its wide, calm stretches where the water is barely moving.

Police dogs have saved many lives with their unique skills and bravery. They are loyal, watchful, and protective of the police officers.   Police dogs today are trained in specific areas.
