I wonder if there is something similar under such rivers as Mississippi, Nile, Ganges, etc?

Sounds like someone is reading a Clive Cussler book.

Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground.
Letting the days go by, into the silent water.

One of the first things they teach you in engineering college (for those that didn’t learn it before Kindergarten) is: “Water runs down hill”. Stories of underground rivers, 3 miles below the surface, violate that rule. The author is misrepresenting the data, either through lack of understanding, or over simplification, in my opinion.

Underground rivers are easier to cross, but harder to fish out of.

no doubt, politically correct since an indian found the river.

NEWS FLASH: The headwaters of this newly discovered river has been pinpointed to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. since it was earlier discovered that the river consisted of bile and BS and scientists traced it back to its source.

The geology/physics of aquifers are so different from rivers it seems worthy of a different name. Calling them rivers obfuscates what’s going on rather than informing.

I believe Professor Challenger discovered and charted this river in 1895, but lost all his data in a shipwreck. Everybody called his story a lie. The prof was used to that sort of thing.

so this means there is more fresh water on the planet than they thought... specially if other major rivers have the same underground twin

I don't know if it's true or not, but,
Pittsburgh, PA Point Park Fountain,
"t draws its water supply not from the visible waters which pass by it, but from an unnamed fourth river, subterranean, passing from the north to the south 54 feet below the surface of the Pittsburgh Point."

There are many underground rivers in the US and Canada with outlets to freshwater lakes.
The US Navy has been using them since 1960`s as protected underground bombproof harbors for freshwater nuclear subs for sneak and shoot.
