Instant River Kit (just add water) 
It is easy to make rivers using water tiles in DundJinni that quickly can be identified as a river during a game,
but to get more natural looking river is nearly impossible to do just using water floor tiles. Some of the excellent mappers here have made some great rivers using multiple layers and transparencies,
but it takes a long time to get it right.
So I made some covers for the water using dblade's transparencies and borrowed stuff from Totte, and Bludragon to dress it up and a decent (not quite perfect) river can be made quickly.
I placed all these files in a file labeled Water Covers (with the "Covers" property file in it).
Turn on Snap to Grid and start placing the RiverWater covers where you want them.
Next, use Totte's RiverEdge pieces along the edge, overlaying the water and use Bludragons RiverWaterFoam to cover any irregularities.
End result, not perfect, but not bad.
The water covers are all 600 x 600, and I also included the river bottom and water covers separately in case you want to put in fish, logs, rocks or bodies.
BE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD ALL THE ZIPS AND OPEN THEM ALL, THE FILES ARE ALL MIXED UP IN THEM.

And here's what it looks like:

We needed a texture to use with this and the earlier dam. It's a digital photo of a real mountain stream run through ImageSynth.

This second texture is a direct mod of Bogie's water, run through ImageSynth™.
