Hmm, what's the connection with "river"?
If you want fluids, better have a look at Basque:
edan (dial. eran) "to drink" < *e=dan-i (= vb.prefix + DAN +
ptc.suffix)
ezne (dial. ezene) "milk" < *zne < *dVné (= DENe ~ DAne)
gaztai (dial. gaztãi, gazna) "cheese" < *gaz(i)-dane (= "salty/sour"
+ DANe)
zenbera "soft cheese" < *den(e)-bera (= DEN(e) + "soft")
ardo (dial. arno, ardao, ardão) "wine" < *ar-dano (? + DANo)
