Note
List of data for the rivers called Alsek (North America) and Gauja (Europe): source, outlet and length, in kilometers. Cites information resource, parenthetically, following river length. In addition, asterisks refer to caveats, elucidated at the bottom of the pages. Nine hundred-fourth and nine hundred-fifth longest rivers featured in the book, which sequences the one thousand longest rivers in the world, from longest to shortest. “Classifying in order of size is the most common method for organizing information,” according to author Sauzeau-Boetti, who also concedes that “The partial information available regarding rivers, the linguistic problems connected to their identity, and the very elusive nature of the waters, mean that the present classification - like all preceding or following ones - will always be provisional and illusory.”
