The Whitewater River is a 101-mile-long (163 km) southerly flowing right tributary of the Great Miami River in southeastern Indiana and southwestern Ohio in the United States. It is formed by the confluence of two forks, the West Fork and East Fork. The name is a misnomer, as there is no true white water on the river. However, there are many rapids due to the steep gradient present - the river falls an average of six feet per mile (1.1 m/km). The gradient rendered upstream navigation impossible, and in the mid-nineteenth century resulted in the construction of the Whitewater Canal paralleling the river from north of Connersville, Indiana, to the Ohio River.

  • 白水河(英語:Whitewater River)是美國印地安納州東南部和俄亥俄州西南部大邁阿密河的一條長101英里(163公里)的支流。雖然這條河流的名稱為白水河,但河上沒有白水。由於地形陡峭,河水平均每英里下降6英尺每英里(1.1米每公里)導致河流流速很快。也正因如此,上游無法通過船隻。在十九世紀中葉,修建了,從印地安納州康納斯維爾(Connersville)以北到俄亥俄河,沿河而行。 西叉河(The West Fork)為河流的主幹,發源於印第安納州蘭道夫縣,位於莫多克東北約1英里(1.6公里)處。它向南和東南流了69.5英里(111.8公里),經過與科納斯維爾 (印地安納州),在印第安納州的布魯克維爾與東叉河匯合。 (zh)

  • The Whitewater River is a 101-mile-long (163 km) southerly flowing right tributary of the Great Miami River in southeastern Indiana and southwestern Ohio in the United States. It is formed by the confluence of two forks, the West Fork and East Fork. The name is a misnomer, as there is no true white water on the river. However, there are many rapids due to the steep gradient present - the river falls an average of six feet per mile (1.1 m/km). The gradient rendered upstream navigation impossible, and in the mid-nineteenth century resulted in the construction of the Whitewater Canal paralleling the river from north of Connersville, Indiana, to the Ohio River. The West Fork, shown as the main stem of the river on federal maps, rises in Randolph County, Indiana, approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) northeast of Modoc. It flows 69.5 miles (111.8 km) south and southeast, past Hagerstown and Connersville, and joins the East Fork of the river at Brookville, Indiana. The 56.7-mile-long (91.2 km) East Fork rises in Darke County, Ohio, approximately 10 miles (16 km) northwest of New Paris. It flows south, through Richmond, Indiana, and joins the West Fork of the river at Brookville, Indiana. From the junction the Whitewater flows southeasterly into Ohio where it eventually joins the Great Miami River, a tributary of the Ohio River. Following continual flooding problems on the East Fork, and to help control flooding in the Ohio River, the East Fork was dammed by the US Army Corps of Engineers to create Brookville Lake in 1974. Brookville Lake extends 17 miles (27 km) from just south of Liberty, Indiana, to Brookville. Cities and towns on the Whitewater River (north to south) include Hagerstown, Cambridge City, Connersville, Laurel, Metamora, Brookville, Harrison (Ohio), and Lawrenceburg. Richmond, Indiana is on the East Fork of the Whitewater River and is the most significant town in the river valley, containing most of the population of the valley. The West Fork of the river is paralleled by State Road 121 from Connersville to 5 miles (8 km) west of Brookville, thence by U.S. Route 52 to the Ohio River. (en)

O West Fork, mostrado como a haste principal do rio em mapas federais, eleva no condado de Randolph, Indiana, aproximadamente 1 milha (1,6 km) a nordeste de Modoc. Flui 69,5 milhas (111,8 km) sul e sudeste, passando por Hagerstown e Connersville, e se junta ao East Fork do rio em Brookville, Indiana. A bifurcação leste de 91.2 km se eleva no Condado de Darke, Ohio, aproximadamente 10 milhas (16 km) a noroeste de Nova Paris. Ele flui para o sul, através de Richmond, Indiana, e se junta à bifurcação oeste do rio em Brookville, Indiana. Do cruzamento, Whitewater flui para sudeste em Ohio, onde eventualmente se junta ao rio Miami, um afluente do rio Ohio. Após problemas contínuos de inundação no East Fork e para ajudar a controlar as inundações no Rio Ohio, o East Fork foi represado pelo Corpo de Engenheiros do Exército dos EUA para criar o em 1974. Brookville Lake estende 17 milhas (27 km) do sul de Liberty, Indiana, até Brookville. As cidades e vilas do rio Whitewater (norte a sul) incluem Hagerstown, Cambridge City, Connersville, Laurel, , Brookville, Harrison (Ohio) e Lawrenceburg . Richmond, Indiana, fica na bifurcação leste do rio Whitewater e é a cidade mais importante do vale do rio, contendo a maior parte da população do vale. A bifurcação oeste do rio é paralelo pela de Connersville a 5 milhas (8 km) a oeste de Brookville, daí pela U.S. Route 52 até o rio Ohio. (pt)
