‘the river guil’
(french alps)
.
(‘whitewater’ is formed in a ‘rapid’, when a river’s ‘gradient’ increases enough to create so much ‘turbulence’ that ‘air’ is entrained into the ‘water body’)
.
(that is, it forms a ‘bubbly’ (or ‘aerated’) + ‘unstable’ current)
(the ‘frothy water’ appears ‘white’)
(the term is also loosely used to refer to less turbulent, but still agitated, flows)
(the term “whitewater” also has a broader meaning, applying to any river or creek itself that has a significant # of ‘rapids’)
.
(the term is also used as an ‘adjective’ describing ‘boating’ on such ‘rivers’, such as whitewater canoeing or ‘whitewater kayaking’)
