White River

The white river is an American two-forked river that flows through central and southern Indiana and is the main tributary to the Wabash River. Via the west fork, considered to be the main stem of the river by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, the White River is 362 miles (583 km) long. Indiana's capital, Indianapolis, is located on the river.

The white river is threatened by pollution, largely stemming from pesticides and factories north of Indianapolis. This section is south of the capital, and ends with the merge into the Wabash in southern Indiana.
