Some rivers (especially in the US) miss their waterway-line through lakes/reservoirs and the part crossing the dam. These need to be added.

Edit: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Rivers Explains it quite well with some graphics.

(I'm the creator of this) Yes lots of rivers are missing those sort of connections through lakesᵉᵗᶜ, but that's not unique to USA. Please keep mapping to fix up things.
