A whitewater river is classified based on its chemistry, sediments and water colour. Whitewater rivers have high levels of suspended sediments, giving the water a pH that is near-neutral, a high electric conductivity and a pale muddy, coffee and cream-like colour. Whitewater rivers are of great ecological importance and are important to local fisheries. The major seasonal Amazonian floodplains known as várzea receive their water from them.

  • Weißwasserflüsse gehören neben Schwarzwasserflüssen und Klarwasserflüssen zu den drei in den Tropen dominierenden Flusstypen. Die bekanntesten Weißwasserflüsse sind in Südamerika der obere Amazonas (Rio Solimões), der Rio Madeira, der Rio Branco sowie der Río de la Plata, der auch „Silberfluss“ genannt wird. In Afrika zählt zum Beispiel der Blaue Nil zu den Weißwasserflüssen. Gelegentlich wird der Begriff weiter gefasst und nicht nur auf tropische Fließgewässer bezogen und beispielsweise die Donau abschnittsweise als Weißwasserfluss bezeichnet. (de)
  • Se conoce como río de aguas blancas a una categoría de uno de los ordenamientos con los que se clasifica a los ríos y sus aguas. Este carácter de curso fluvial representa uno de los tres tipos predominantes en los ríos de zonas tropicales y subtropicales, junto con el de aguas negras y el de aguas claras.​ (es)
