1、river networkDense, with large water volume and few long rivers.(Limited by the twists and turns of the continental contour and mountains)
2. Steady (slow) water flow, hydraulic energyReserveSmall.(due to the flat terrain inside the continent)
3. The seasonal variation of flow is small, the shipping value is large, and the water transportation is developed.
4. The lakes are mostly distributed in the northwest and the north and south sides of the Alps,FinlandIt is called "the country of thousands of lakes".
