What's the difference between 河 and 江?
Mandarin Blueprint
江 is formal, and only used alone to mean river in rather formal writing (e.g. 沿江 yán jiāng - "Along the river"), or in combination with other characters to form names of places or rivers e.g. 长江 chángjiāng - Yangtze River, or 䢺江 chūjiāng - Chujiang (A City in Sichuan province). 河 is what you would usually use to refer to a river.

Which reminds me of the amazing Chinese TV show 大江大河 (aka 'Like a flowing river') , which I would recommend to anyone wanting to practice their Chinese and learn about China during the economic reform period (end 1970's to 90's). It's available on YouTube, even with English subtitles.
