Abstract
The invention relates to a white-water river, comprising a river bed capable of guiding a current of water between an upper inlet of the bed and a lower outlet of the bed, and including water-feeding means for injecting a stream of water at the upper inlet of the bed. The river bed is made up of a series of individual bed modules, adjacent to one another, and assembled via respective transverse contact surfaces. The individual bed modules are supported via a lower surface by a modular lattice bearing structure.

-15. (canceled)
An assembly for forming a white water river having a river bed for guiding a flow of water, the assembly comprising;
- a modular lattice support structure;
- a plurality of bed modules each bed module having a lower surface adapted to be supported by the lattice support structure, each bed module having at least one contact surface disposed adjacent to a contact surface of another of the plurality of bed modules when in an assembled position on the lattice support structure, the plurality of bed modules defining an upper bed inlet and a lower bed inlet;
- and
- a water supply for delivering a flow of water at the upper bed inlet which flows to the lower bed inlet.
