Left Bank? or Right Bank?

All government agencies refer to your side of the river
by using "left bank" or "right bank".
 

Here's how to tell which side:

• The right bank of a river is the right side of the river when one is facing to the mouth of the river. The right bank of a river when going downstream, is properly termed as right bank descending.
   
• The left bank of a river is the left side of the river when one is facing to the mouth of the river. The left bank of a river when going downstream, is properly termed as left bank descending.
