If you actually went /out/ like posting on this board would suggest you would realize that every so often water falls from the sky in a phenomenon commonly referred to as rain. When all this "rain" hits the ground, it follows the laws of gravity and always tries to flow downward towards the lowest point. Often ending up in a sewer, or in this case, a river.
When all that water is flowing down, it often picks up dirt and other debris, turning it into a brown color. When a river floods, there is a lot of this brown water, and it turns the river brownish instead of the bright neon yellow that you are probably used to seeing in your backwater city.
During certain seasons a lot of places will have a lot of rain and all the waterways will start to rise and turn brown. Some people take advantage of the uncommonly high water to go out and take a picture of water features, such as waterfalls, and awe at the beauty of nature.
I hope you are no longer confused, anon.
