Embarrassing Q - Upstream and downstream?

Matthew Nightingale (ACA) · May 24, 2012

Which is which? Is upstream towards the source or the estuary?

Source. Downstream is the way the water flows.

Upstream is towards the source. Downstream is with the current.

Upstream is where it's coming from, downstream is where it's going!
