The Czech Republic lies in the headwater area of the central European watershed. The Elbe River rises near the Czech-Polish border and sweeps southwestward across Bohemia, receiving the Jizera, Vltava, and Ohře rivers before flowing northward into Germany as its shown in Czech republic river map. The Vltava is navigable from Prague to Mělník, where it empties into the Elbe. From that point onward river traffic can travel all the way to Hamburg. The Morava River, flowing south toward the Danube (Dunaj) River, drains most of Moravia in the east.
 
The Oder River rises in the northeastern Czech Republic and flows northward into Poland. There also are many smaller rivers of little economic importance. Larger rivers such as the Vltava as its mentioned in Czech republic river map are sources of hydroelectric power. The country is rich in mineral springs, and groundwater reserves are extensively used. Alluvial soils occur in the river basins, and heavy clay soils are found in the eastern ridges.
