As sea levels rise due to climate change and flood coastal areas, will there be a similar rise in freshwater waterways? Will rivers, streams and creeks located far away from the coast also rise and flood adjacent lands?

The water level in rivers streams and creeks depends on the amount of precipitation in their watershed. If there is a lot of precipitation the levels will rise as they drain the excess water from the surrounding land. If there is a period of no precipitation, the levels will fall as the land around them dries out and they are fed less water.

Climate change could cause the amount of local precipitation in an area to change. Some areas may get drier and some areas may get wetter, and those changes might be seasonal. The rise in sea level is not going to be seasonal or local. It is largely a result of the ice in Greenland and Antarctica melting and flowing to the ocean and staying there. It will be global and permanent (at least for several millennia).
