? Black and White River in Georgia that do not mix up
In the east of Georgia, the region Mtskheta-Mtianeti (near Pasanauri village), one can see the confluence of two rivers there – the white Aragvi and the black Aragvi.
The flows of two rivers do not mix up and look as a black-white stream. A bit lower they meet another river – Pshavskaya Aragvi of a blue-green color.
According to the local legend, the two rivers are sisters – blonde and brunette who fell in love with one and the same brave knight. The knight married the fair-haired sister, and the dark-haired one, to stay out of their happiness, jumped from the mountain and turned into the black river. The blonde began to miss her so much, that also took her own life and turned into the white river. The third river is the knight himself who became the reason of two deaths and could not live with this…

I'm curious why they dont mix, same thing with hot and cool fronts
AlexAmsterHater
Similar mix-up is near another city in Georgia -Zestafoni.

IIRC the color difference is also a density difference which impedes mixing somewhat. But saw on TV; have no reference for this, sorry...
AxelBeingCivil
You are almost certainly right, though other factors (relative salinity, temperature, etc.) could also impede mixing.

The last time this was posted one of the comments went along the lines of the rivers are going faster downstream than into each other at tha

Little River Springs meets Suwannee River. Silver Springs/Ochlochnee look similar:

A brave Knight? When was this person knighted and by whom?
MsCelia
Probably some king name George. There were a lot of kings by that name in Georgia, funnily enough :D
CarlottaVonSprockett
Well, in Georgia in the medieval times there were nobles and knights, as in most of Europe. Bc this is NOT the US state, it’s the country.
FrankTheThunderbird
Well, it’s Georgia, so you know...

Roughly same distance from Tbilisi in different direction, North-east-ish.

Shit. I'm like, I live in Georgia and don't recognize any of these names. And then I realized how American I am.
AlexAmsterHater
By the way, in Another Georgia, we also believe that Atlanta was capital of sunken Atlantis ;)

the only words I knew for years were "gotta keep em separated"
JustinSane6
Segregated rivers in Georgia. I’m shocked, I tell you.
cr107
I’m sure this is sarcasm, but it’s the country of Georgia, not the US state.
CarlottaVonSprockett
You’d think the part where they talk about the Mtskheta-Mtianetu region would’ve clued people in.
Alpha38
Or the word "Aragvi", or the legend based on a knight and not a story from a Native American tribe.
MrRemakes
Some people are low information commenters.
HeraldOfTheBadger
All the names I thought might be Native American but got concerned when it was describing a knight, took me until the comment sections
