Rivers are part of landscape editing. The only real trick to making them is in how to disguise any changes in height by using rocks and waterfals along the edge of the cell. The problem with cells in Oblivion is that the water height for the whole cell is the same, so you cannot slope water heights, or have dry areas below water level within the same cell. What all this means is that making small rivers, or streams which flow down a hill don't work too well unless you have a very large hill and you have room to make it step down from one cell to another. There are some spots southeast of skingrad, northeast of bravil, and west of cheydinhal that you might want to look at to get some ideas on how the water levels are being worked with.

 

You can change the waterlevel within a cell by opening the cell properties.

I would also check out the MORE page, (Modders of Oblivion Real Estate) as they have some very excellent water meshes, one of which is for helping with making rivers.
