Among all the features recorded in the GeoNames database, Wikipedia has arbitrarily selected for these lists features named "Rio", "Rio", "Canal", "Arroyo", "Estero", "Riachuelo" and they must contain one of following Feature Codes (explained in ):
RPDS: rapids, a turbulent section of a stream associated with a steep, irregular stream bed
CHN: channel, the deepest part of a stream, bay, lagoon, or strait, through which the main current flows
CNLA: aqueduct, a conduit used to carry water
CNLB: canal bend, a conspicuously curved or bent section of a canal
CNLD: drainage canal, an artificial waterway carrying water away from a wetland or from drainage ditches
CNLI: irrigation canal, a canal which serves as a main conduit for irrigation water
CNLN: navigation canal(s), a watercourse constructed for navigation of vessels
CNLSB: underground irrigation canal(s), a gently inclined tunnel bringing water for irrigation from aquifers
CRKT: tidal creek(s) a meandering channel in a coastal wetland subject to bi-directional tidal currents
DTCH: ditch, a small artificial watercourse dug for draining or irrigating the land
DTCHI: irrigation ditch, a ditch which serves to distribute irrigation water
DTCHD: drainage ditch, a ditch which serves to drain the land
ESTY: estuary, a funnel-shaped stream mouth or embayment where fresh water mixes with sea water under tidal influences
FORD: ford, a shallow part of a stream which can be crossed on foot or by land vehicle
SBED: dry stream bed, a channel formerly containing the water of a stream
STM: stream, a body of running water moving to a lower level in a channel on land
STMA: anabranch, a diverging branch flowing out of a main stream and rejoining it downstream
STMB: stream bend, a conspicuously curved or bent segment of a stream
STMC: canalized stream, a stream that has been substantially ditched, diked, or straightened
STMD: distributary(-ies), a branch which flows away from the main stream, as in a delta or irrigation canal
STMH: headwaters, the source and upper part of a stream, including the upper drainage basin
STMI: intermittent stream
STMIX: section of intermittent stream
STMM: stream mouth(s), a place where a stream discharges into a lagoon, lake, or the sea
STMQ: abandoned watercourse, a former stream or distributary no longer carrying flowing water, but still evident due to lakes, wetland, topographic or vegetation patterns
STMS: streams, bodies of running water moving to a lower level in a channel on land
STMSB: lost river, a surface stream that disappears into an underground channel, or dries up in an arid area
STMX: section of stream
TNLC: canal tunnel, a tunnel through which a canal passes
WTRC: watercourse, a natural, well-defined channel produced by flowing water, or an artificial channel designed to carry flowing water
WTRH: waterhole(s), a natural hole, hollow, or small depression that contains water, used by man and animals, especially in arid areas
Rivers by latitude
Note: The rivers are ordered by the latitude of their outflows into the ocean, lakes, other rivers or out of Chile respectively.
Largest rivers by basin area
Note: The rivers are ordered by their drainage basin area within Chile.
Notes:
1The length in the list is that of the tributary Tinguiririca River
2The length in the list is the sum of Valdivia and Cruces River. The length of the proper Valdivia River is 15 km.
