English term or phrase: pool-drop rivers

"The Norwegian Whitewater rivers are tipically steep pool-drop rivers with many waterfalls".

- acesta este textul din care face parte expresia; m-as bucura si de o explicatie a cuvantului "whitewater"

Multumesc!

rauri / parauri cu bulboane si praguri

Explanation:
Sau, dupa cum se spune in limba romana, rauri / parauri cu praguri si bulboane; adica ordinea cuvintelor este diferita.

Asta-i, de fapt, tot farmecul in whitewater rafting (unul dintre sporturile mele preferate! :-) - sa sari cu caiacul sau cu barca gonflabila peste praguri, in bulboane, intr-o spuma alba. Bulboana nu este chiar un vartej dar nici ochi de apa perfect linistita nu este; este, in general, locul unde iti tragi rasuflarea pentru urmatoarea trecere.

Pe scurt, pentru parauri, se mai spune si parau cu cataracte.

Limba engleza nu diferentiaza intre parau si rau, dar pentru whitewater rafting se prefera un rau mai mic (astfel incat stancile sa iasa la suprafata) sau un parau.

whitewater = apa inspumata, dupa cum a mai spus cineva

râuri cu diferențe de nivel

Explanation:
"To begin with, there's the character of the river: pool-drop or continuous. As you might guess, continuous means non-stop, while pool-drop denotes alternating rapid and flat-water sections." (Sursa: http://www.wetdawg.com/pages/kayaklingo.html)
Din câte deduc este vorba de porțiuni în care ape repezi alterneaza cu ape line.

Toţi cei care se simt atraşi de lumea turismului de aventură, probabil că au admirat apele învolburate a viiturilor de primăvară, şi nu le trebuie explicaţ de unde vine expresia whitewater. Sporturile nautice adunate sub expresia de origine engleză whitewater, includ activităţi pe care cei dornici de aventură le practică pe cursuri repezi de munte.
