Pull into the river, where there's a lot of water (6)
I believe the answer is:
deluge
'where there's a lot of water' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'pull into the river' is the wordplay.
'pull' becomes 'lug' (I've seen this in another clue).
'into' indicates putting letters inside.
'the river' becomes 'dee' (River Dee).
'lug' inserted within 'dee' is 'DELUGE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for deluge that I've seen before include "A heavy downpour of rain" , "Flooding downpour" , "Flood - downpour" , "Swamp" , "Inundation" .)
