Geography
RiviÃÆ'¨re Blanche has its source around Pic la Selle, which rises to 2,680 meters above sea level, facing the top of the mountain. The river forms several arms when it arrives on the Cul-de-Sac Plain.
In the past, RiviÃÆ'¨re Blanche flowed into the lake whose arms were channeled well to the northeast of â € ° â € ° SaumÃÆ'Â ¢ tre, or to the northwest of Trou CaÃÆ'¯man. The old name for this is called Rivière du Boucan Brou , but today, this arm is channeled under the name Boucanbrou or Canal Boucambrou.
During the rainy season, RiviÃÆ'¨re Blanche becomes impatient and overflowing the edges, especially since the Boucanbrou Canal is not caged and cleared of mud that reduces water flow. Partial flooding in the Plaine of Cul-de-Sac in the agglomeration of Port-au-Prince.

River channelization
In 1954, Hurricane Hazel moved a large sedimentary land in the RiviÃÆ'¨re Blanche valley, forming a sedimentary dam stretching 192Ã,¬Ã,² and diverting the RiviÃÆ'¨re Blanche course from its natural bed. The waters find the outlet downstream with flowing directions from the SaumÃÆ'  ¢ tre pliers. In January 2014, a Memorandum of Understanding between the Ministry of Agriculture and the National Association of Agricultural Producers was signed, to improve the alignment of RiviÃÆ'¨re Blanche to overhaul its original 5.5 km long channel, and by utilizing it to strengthen this part of the river channel into weakness.
A warning system in case of floods, established in the city of Croix-des-Bouquets, to prevent the risk of flooding.
