Humber

Estuary in northeast England formed by the Ouse and Trent rivers, which meet east of Goole and flow east for 60 km/38 mi to enter the North Sea below Spurn Head. It is an important commercial waterway, and the main ports are Kingston upon Hull on the north side, and Grimsby on the south side. The Humber Bridge (1981) joins the two banks.

The estuary widens from 2 km/1 mi at its head to 13 km/8 mi at the bay below Spurn Head. The area drained by the Humber is 24,000 sq km/9,264 sq mi.

Humber

One of two short rivers (the other being the Don) crucial to the development of the city of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It enters metropolitan Toronto from Vaughan in the north and Caledon in the northwest, and empties into Humber Bay, Lake Ontario. The river forms the modern boundaries between Toronto, York, and North York to the northeast and Etobicoke to the southwest.

Noted for the scenery of its headwaters, it is also lined by much of the metropolitan area's parkland.
