WHITEWATER RAFTING CONCEPT

Whitewater is formed in a rapid, when a river’s gradient increases enough to disturb its laminar flow and create turbulence, i.e., form a bubbly, or aerated and unstable current; the frothy water appears white.
The term “whitewater” also has a broader meaning, applying to any river or creek itself that has a significant number of rapids.

RAPIDS
There are 4 factors, separately or in combination, can create rapids: gradient, constriction, obstruction and flow rate.
1. Stream Bed topography. Stream bed topography is the primary factor in creating rapids and is generally consistent over time.
2. Gradient. The gradient of a river is the rate at which it loses elevation along its course.
3. Constriction. Constrictions can form a rapid when a river’s flow is forced into a narrower channel.
4. Obstruction. A boulder or ledge in the middle of a river or near the side can obstruct the flow of the river, and can also create a “cushion”; a “drop” (over the boulder); and “hydraulics” or “holes” where the river flows back on itself–perhaps back under the drop–often with fearful results for those caught in its grasp.
