I have a river network (lines) and a .shp
with states (polygon). I would like to split the lines at the state boundaries i.e. split lines by polygon boundaries.
Is there a geoprocessing tool to do this in QGIS? I can't merge the lines by the way, since they are meaningfully split into tributaries/main river.

This is now possible by default in QGIS with the "Intersection" tool.
