? 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…

Damn nature, you racist. *BET voice*

IIRC the color difference is also a density difference which impedes mixing somewhat. But saw on TV; have no reference for this, sorry...

You are almost certainly right, though other factors (relative salinity, temperature, etc.) could also impede mixing.

Probably some king name George. There were a lot of kings by that name in Georgia, funnily enough :D

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.

You’d think the part where they talk about the Mtskheta-Mtianetu region would’ve clued people in.

Or the word "Aragvi", or the legend based on a knight and not a story from a Native American tribe.
