Travelling on her waterway (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rhone

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'waterway' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both natural objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'travelling on her' is the wordplay.
'travelling' indicates anagramming the letters.
'on'+'her'='onher'
'onher' with letters rearranged gives 'RHONE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rhone that I've seen before include "River flowing from Alps to the French Med" , "River flowing through Lake Geneva" , "12 wine region" , "River at Avignon and Arles" , "River at Lyons" .)
