Rivers Generate Without Water

Rivers often generate without water, and are too shallow. This happens with nearly EVERY river, if you find one and follow it, chances are you will hit a dried up part. This seems less likely to occur with rivers that do not have steep banks, such as rivers in Ice Plains biomes. In Extreme Hills biomes, the problem is worse, and rivers can dry up for great distances. This generation issue has been around ever since the 1.7 biome update, and long before it. Finding realistic rivers that go on for a good distance without drying up is difficult.
