Confluence of the Neman and Neris rivers in Kaunas, Lithuania. A confluence is a river which is formed when two or more rivers combine to form a single channel of water. The confluence formed can be as a result of two smaller rivers joining to form one channel or two rivers separated by a strip of land upstream that rejoin downstream.
The next thing we asked ourselves was what is the confluence of two rivers called?
One way to think about this is also known as a conflux, it refers either to the point where a tributary joins a larger river, (main stem), or where two streams meet to become the source of a river of a new name, such as the confluence of the Monongahela and Allegheny rivers in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania creating the Ohio River.
You may be wondering “What is an example of a river confluence in Africa?”
In Africa, confluences are found in West, Southern, and North African states. For example, in West Africa, the Benue River flows and joins the Niger River at Lokoja area to form a confluence. In Southern Africa, Chobe River flows into the famous Zambezi River in Zambia.
This of course begs the inquiry “What is the relationship between water flows and stream confluences?”
The water flows and their consequences are often studied with mathematical models. Confluences are relevant to the distribution of living organisms (i. e, ecology) as well; “the general pattern [downstream of confluences] of increasing stream flow and decreasing slopes drives a corresponding shift in habitat characteristics.”.
What is a confluence in geography?
A confluence is a river which is formed when two or more rivers combine to form a single channel of water. The confluence formed can be as a result of two smaller rivers joining to form one channel or two rivers separated by a strip of land upstream that rejoin downstream.
Also, what is confluence used for?
Confluence is a collaboration wiki tool used to help teams to collaborate and share knowledge efficiently. With confluence, we can capture project requirements, assign tasks to specific users, and manage several calendars at once with the help of Team Calendars add-on.
Another common query is “What can you do with confluence?”.
Create, collaborate, and organize all your work in one place. Confluence is a team workspace where knowledge and collaboration meet. Dynamic pages give your team a place to create, capture, and collaborate on any project or idea.
What is the difference between a confluence and a Jira?
JIRA is a highly customizable project management tool that allows teams to manage and fix issues throughout the SDLC so it is widely used in software development projects to track various developments happening. A confluence is a collaboration tool that can be used to store, create, and organize information or content of the workflow.
What types of teams use confluence?
I think another way to frame this is to get a sense for what types of teams use Confluence to create and discuss their work. Historically, Confluence has been widely used by software teams to assemble ideas, product requirements and documentation to build better products.
That’s why product teams use Confluence as a single source of truth for their product requirements, UX designs, user stories, documentation, and more. When your team has one place to reference all parts of the product development lifecycle, all it takes to clarify a doubt or answer a question is a quick look back to your Confluence product space.
