Four Rivers of Eastern Provice

There are four major rivers in the Eastern Desert province and several smaller bodies of water. The Yoshino-gawa {excellent beautiful respected honored graceful pleasing sound river} is the largest and longest river on Nejiro. It is more than seventeen thousand kilometers in length and originates from the Genso Mizumi {illusion lake} which is fed by the Alpenwylde glaciers in the Kiso Mountains {foundation backbone}, which in turn feeds the Tentai Mizumi {heaven lake} and the Anheru Taki {angel falls} and Morning Glory Lake in the Kiso Mountains and the Sharqiun Kiso Yama. The Yoshino-gawa flows north through the Eastern Desert and the Yushan {jade hills}, and on through the Kuroi Oka {black hills} and the Annettai Heiya {subtropical plains} until its oulet into Subarashi Bei {wonderful bay}. The river widens from two kilometers at its source to a maximum of fifty kilometers during the rainy season in its delta, it has depths over two hundred meters. It is the major river of the northern Tairiku continent {everything north of the Kiso Mountains and the Sharqiun Kiso Yama} a superhighway of transport to many destinations via itself and its many tributaries and canals. The Yoshino-gawa forms the western boundary of the Eastern Desert province, as well as the Kuroi Oka {black hills} province. The Kanawha River {white rocks} is a tributary of the Yoshino-gawa that flows north through the Kiso Mountains then east into the Sharqiun Kiso Yama {eastern backbone foundation mountains} and then northeast through the city of Hilo and its metropolitan area. The Kanawha River then continues east past Camp Haken {hegemony} and then flows north into the Sangosho Gulf {coral}. The Kanawha River is a fast moving body of water with several constricted sections that form rapids (rated from Class III to Class IV) and small waterfalls. The river has several hydropower facilities along its route. The Kanawha River ranges from two to sixteen kilometers wide and is up to one hundred meters deep in parts during its journey of over four thousand kilometers. The Quoile River {narrow} originates in the Sharqiun Kiso Yama south of the Anheru Taki {angel waterfall} within the KrissKross cavern system. It flows mainly underground except for a few dozen kilometers where it surfaces in Hilo due to geological quirks. The river again surfaces as it enters Kawaita taki sankyo {dry falls gorge}, a gorge several dozen kilometers north of the Hilo metropolitan area, and then due to past geological activity the Quoile River disappears and continues underground east for another thirteen hundred kilometers or so and empties into Pearl Bay west of Baja. The Waikato River {flowing water} originates from Tazawa Lake {hill with a raised circular top, rice paddy}, a deep caldera lake {a six kilometer wide body of freshwater with two lava domes over three hundred meters in diameter in its 423-meter depths on Ryujin no sumiko yama (dwelling of the dragon god mountain) 2236-masl} (the lake that never freezes) in the Sharqiun Kiso Yama which fills the river with kunimasu trout, sockeye salmon, red-fin, carp, char, catfish, and eel. The Waikato River flows northeast from its origins and continues onward through the city of Hilo and its metropolitan area and then crosses abruptly east and meanders into Bear Paw Lake northwest of Baja. The Waikato River then snakes its way further east and then south past Baja and through the Woy Woy Peninsula {much water, big lagoon} and on into the Sulu Sea {dynamic flowing water}. The Waikato River has an average depth of ten meters and easily accommodates barges and small freight ships, but nothing handling over five thousand containers (which requires depths over twelve meters). Woodlands and meadows are naturally plentiful around the rivers, lakes and canals of the Eastern Desert province. They are also cultivated around farmlands, orchards, vineyards, and pastures to mitigate flooding.
