A river is part of natural drainage of an area and therefore it has many points of origin. If you mean a river formed by joining two rivers, then see the link posted earlier. — NVZ, Apr 02 '16 at 10:58
Bicipital has secondary meanings 'having two heads' or 'having two points of origin', but is not usually used except to describe muscles. — Edwin Ashworth, Apr 02 '16 at 15:36

If your viewpoint is looking back towards the sources, it is bifurcated, meaning it splits.

If you just want the union of two sets of discrete things, then commingled

to join or mix together

"Commingle." Merriam-Webster.com. Merriam-Webster, n.d. Web. 2 Apr. 2016.

If you want the state of being composed of two things, it is conjoint.

Combining all or both people or things involved

If the two sources mix, like paint, then blended would work. Blended is also used for abstractions like theories or ideas.

to mix (things) thoroughly and usually with good results
to exist together as a combination

"Blend." Merriam-Webster.com. Merriam-Webster, n.d. Web. 2 Apr. 2016.
