  • The Owens River is a river in eastern California in the United States, approximately 183 miles (295 km) long. It drains into and through the Owens Valley, an arid basin between the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada and the western faces of the Inyo and White Mountains. The river terminates at the endorheic Owens Lake south of Lone Pine, at the bottom of a 2,600 sq mi (6,700 km2) watershed. In the early 1900s, the Owens River was the focus of the California Water Wars, fought between the city of Los Angeles and the inhabitants of Owens Valley over the construction of the Los Angeles Aqueduct. Since 1913, the Owens River has been diverted to Los Angeles, causing the ruin of the valley's economy and the drying of Owens Lake. In winter 2006, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power restored 5% of the pre-aqueduct flow to the river by court order, allowing the Owens River Gorge, the river bed in the valley, and Owens Lake to contain a small amount of water.

  • Owens River is een rivier in het oosten van de Amerikaanse staat Californië. De rivier stroomt van noord naar zuid door de Owens Valley, een brede vallei tussen de Sierra Nevada in het westen en de White Mountains en Inyo Mountains in het oosten. (nl)
  • オーエンズ川（オーエンズがわ、英語: Owens River）は、アメリカ合衆国カリフォルニア州を流れる全長約295kmの川である。 シエラネヴァダ山脈の東のオーエンズヴァレーを流れ、オーエンズ湖へ注ぐ。灌漑と飲料水用の取水で干上がっていたが、現在は少量の水が流されている。 オーエンズ川はモノ郡南西部、モノ湖の南約24.1km、ヨセミテ渓谷の東約56.3kmのシエラネバダ山脈内に発し、を南西に流れ、ダム湖であるクローリー湖を通過し長さ32kmのオーエンズ川峡谷を下り、ビショップ北西でオーエンズバレーに入る。ビショップ周辺で川の水は農業に利用されている。オーエンズ川はオーエンズバレーを南、南東へと流れを通過し、そこから約22.5km南東で川の水の大半はロサンゼルス上水路へと送られている。川はその先も南へ向かいオーエンズ湖へと至っている。 (ja)
  • Il fiume Owens (in inglese: Owens River) è un fiume della California orientale negli Stati Uniti d'America, lungo approssimativamente 295 km. Sfocia nella e attraverso la Valle di Owens, un arido bacino tra il pendio orientale della Sierra Nevada e le pareti occidentali delle e delle White Mountains. Il fiume termina nell'endoreico a sud di Lone Pine, sul fondo di un bacino idrografico di 6 700 km². Agli inizi del XX secolo il fiume Owens fu il centro delle guerre dell'acqua in California (California Water Wars), combattute tra la città di Los Angeles e gli abitanti della Valle dell'Owens sulla costruzione dell'acquedotto di Los Angeles. Dal 1913, il fiume Owens è deviato a Los Angeles, causando la rovina dell'economia della valle e il prosciugamento del Lago Owens. Nell'inverno del 2006, il Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (Dipartimento per l'acqua e l'energia di Los Angeles) riportò nel fiume il 5% del flusso pre-acquedotto, per ordine del tribunale, permettendo alla , il letto del fiume nella valle, e al Lago Owens, di contenere una piccola quantità di acqua.
