Can confirm using the seed and coordinates in the comment above.

Reopened (though this is likely still WAI). From MC-221825, one place where this happens is seed -6360118730009097443, coordinates -640/-200.

As of 1.13, this can actually be useful to determine where salmon and squid spawn. (Both can only spawn in river and ocean biomes) I may be quite late but IMO it should stay this way from now on.

This is really unnatural and I don't think this is intended. This must be opened again

Can you provide a seed and coordinates and screenshots.

Comment by Kumasasa [ 22/Nov/12 ]

Seems to be intended. The swamp water is dirty and greenish but the river's water is clear.

Can you provide a seed and coordinates and I can have a look and confirm this for you.
