rhein

'german river' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'flowing in here? not entirely' is the wordplay.
'flowing' indicates an anagram.
'not entirely' means to remove the last letter (not all of the word).
'in'+'here'='inhere'
'inhere' with its final letter taken away is 'inher'.
'inher' with letters rearranged gives 'RHEIN'.

'locally' is the link.
This may not be correct. It may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rhein that I've seen before include "In Germany, find her in the river, strangely" , "Locally busy European river" , "You might find her in the river, strangely" , "(German name for) German river" .)
