The mouth of a river may be hard to determine in cases where the river has a large estuary that gradually widens and opens into the ocean; examples are the AmazonRiver and the Saint Lawrence River.
The length of a river between source and mouth may be hard to determine because of a lack of precise maps.
In these cases, the measured length of a river will depend on the scale of the map on which the measurement is based; in general, due to the fractal quality of a river, the larger the scale, the longer the resulting length measurement.
