According to the Webster's Third New International Dictionary of the English Language, "potamology" is "The study of rivers," whereas "fluviology" is "A science dealing with watercourses." The Oxford English Dictionary defines "potamology" as "The scientific study of rivers," and "fluviology" as "The facts and conditions relating to a river or river-system," giving "potamology" as a synonym. In French, both the "Grand dictionnaire encyclopédique Larousse" and the "Le Grand Robert" give "potamologie" and "hydrologie fluviale" as perfect synonyms. 5, record 1, English, - potamology
