Headwaters come from higher elevations like mountains, top of rivers, rainfall etc. Mouths of rivers include amounts of water like rivers, oceans, lakes, pools, etc

Step-by-step explanation:

The headwater can come from rainfall or snowmelt in mountains, but it can also bubble up from groundwater or form at the edge of a lake or large pond. The other end of a river is called its mouth, where water empties into a larger body of water, such as a lake or ocean.
