The mouth of the river.
The mouth (can also be a delta or estuary) of the stream or river into a standing body of water or the confluence of two rivers.
The technical term for this is influent, which means something that flows in, especially a tributary river or stream that adds to a body of water. The opposite of this word is effluent, which means something that flows out of a body of water. Most lakes possess both of these, since they are part of an overall system with a flow.
