When a vocab is made up of a single kanji with no okurigana (hiragana attached to the kanji) it will usually take the same meaning as the kanji it comes from. So, from that you know that this word means river.
You're in luck - the reading you learned with the kanji is the same as the one you have to learn for this vocab!
