		Both the White River and the East Fork White River originate in the upper reaches of the Basin in agricultural areas consisting of flat to rolling glacial till plain that covers the northern part of the basin.
		Although rivers in the Great and Little Miami River Basins greatly influenced the early development of the region's economy, it has been the availability of abundant ground-water supplies that has spurred rapid growth and development in the region since the beginning of this century.
		The Little Miami River (a State and National Scenic River), the upper Great Miami River and its tributaries, and the Whitewater River in Indiana largely contain high-quality warmwater habitats with biologically diverse fish and wildlife populations.
