We all know that rivers flow out of the mountains, through the valleys and into the sea. the mystery is how does all that water get up the mountain continuously?
Tell us your theory.

Ok rain and snow are part of it lol. The other is springs or ground water table.
The water table does not go by flat land or mountains lol. It is like a sponge that is soaked up with water and you fold it wat is still there but you got low water table with it and and you got high water table with it . Kinda goes with the land construe.
For an example If you drill a well on low flat land you may have to go down say 90 ft. When you drill on mountain you may only have to go down 45ft.

It is the energy from the sun that ultimately brings the water to the higher elevations.

Rain, snow are the most probable sources for these water.

Don't forget about natural springs that flow from underground sources.
