English Definition
A large natural stream of water. Sweden's rivers flow mainly from the Scandinavian Mountains eastward to the Baltic and Gulf of Bothnia. Major rivers: Göta älv (draining Lake Vänern), Umeälv, Luleälv, and the Dal River (Dalälven). Swedish rivers are crucial for hydropower — Sweden generates about 40% of its electricity from hydropower, making it one of the greenest energy mixes in Europe.
Example
“Dalälven och andra svenska älvar bidrar till landets stora vattenkraftproduktion.”
In English: “The Dal River and other Swedish rivers contribute to the country's large hydropower production.”
