The Kaweah River is a river draining the southern Sierra Nevada in Tulare County, California in the United States. Fed primarily by high elevation snowmelt along the Great Western Divide, the Kaweah begins as four forks in Sequoia National Park, where the watershed is noted for its alpine scenery and its dense concentrations of giant sequoias, the largest trees on Earth. It then flows in a southwest direction to Lake Kaweah – the only major reservoir on the river – and into the San Joaquin Valley, where it diverges into multiple channels across an alluvial plain around Visalia. With its Middle Fork headwaters starting at almost 13,000 feet (4,000 m) above sea level, the river has a vertical drop of nearly two and a half miles (4.0 km) on its short run to the San Joaquin Valley, making it one of the steepest river drainages in the United States. Although the main stem of the Kaweah is only 33.6 miles (54.1 km) long, its total length including headwaters and lower branches is nearly 100 miles (160 km). The lower course of the river and its many distributaries – including the St. John's River and Mill Creek – form the Kaweah Delta, a productive agricultural region spanning more than 300,000 acres (120,000 ha). Before the diversion of its waters for irrigation, the river flowed into Tulare Lake, the now dry terminal sink of a large endorheic basin in the southern San Joaquin Valley, also fed by the Kern and Tule Rivers and southern branches of the Kings River. The Yokuts and Western Mono are the main Native American groups in the Kaweah River basin, which was explored by the Spanish in the early 1800s and heavily logged after the 1850s by American colonists, before its upper reaches became part of Sequoia National Park in 1890.

Elle se termine dans le bassin endoréique du lac Tulare. * La Kaweah. * Le Pumpkin Hollow Bridge, pont sur la Kaweah à Three Rivers. (fr) 卡威亞河（英語：Kaweah River）位於美國加利福尼亞州图莱里县，全長54.1公里，流域面積達3,940平方公里。河水源於內華達山脈巨杉國家公園一帶，往西南方向流動，流經主要水庫卡威亞湖後便進入聖華金谷，最終在維塞利亞附近的氾濫平原上分流成多條溪流。河流流量主要依賴高山融雪補給。構成河源的卡威亞河中汊源於海拔四千米以上的地區，而河口聖華金谷的海拔高度僅是百餘米，垂直落差接近4公里，以致它成為美國其中一條較陡峭的河流。雖然河流幹流只長約54公里，但若包括上游和下游分支，其總長度將接近160公里。 卡威亞一詞源於約庫特語，意思大致是「烏鴉的叫聲」。約庫特人和西莫諾人曾是流域內主要的美洲原住民族群。19世紀初，西班牙人發現此地。19世紀中期，美國殖民者進駐此地並砍伐區內大量樹木。直至1890年，河流上游一帶才被納入巨杉國家公園作保護。河流下游及許多支流形成了卡威亞三角洲。此處佔地超過120,000公頃，是州內的高產農業區。在引水灌溉前，河流曾流入圖萊里湖。該湖是聖華金谷南部的一個大型內陸盆地，克恩河、圖萊河以及國王河南部支流一度流進該處，但現時已成旱湖。 (zh) |
