The River Rhine (Dutch: Rijn; French: Rhin; German: Rhein; Italian: Reno; Romansh: Rein) is one of the longest and most important rivers in Europe at 1,320 kilometres (820 miles), with an average discharge of more than 2,000 cubic meters per second. The name of the Rhine comes from the Celtic Renos, literally "that which flows", from the Proto-Indo-European root *rei- ("to flow, run"), which is also the origin of the English verb "to run" and the Greek adage Πάντα ῥεῖ καὶ οὐδὲν μένει, (everything flows, nothing stands still).

The Moselle (French Moselle, German Mosel, Luxembourgish Musel, from Latin Mosella, "little Meuse") is a river flowing through France, Luxembourg and Germany. It is a left tributary of the Rhine river, joining it at Koblenz. The river gave its name to two French départements: Moselle and Meurthe-et-Moselle.
