contexto contexto (es un texto de turismo pero el estilo es medio rebuscado!)
Los rios caudalosos, lagos de aguas esmeralda y los volcanes se toman el paisaje. Los bosques se entremezclan en el cielo como una cascada que rompe el celeste con su esplendor verde.
Non-ProZ.com Jun 24, 2003:
ps Puse "high-volume" originalmente, pero por contexto quería algo un poco más "literario", si se quiere.
Más adelante habla de ríos de "caudal alborotado", que en los deportes aventura se tienden a denominar "rough rivers".

\"Full\" sí, pero no me convence. \"Fast\", no, porque no se refiere a volumen sino a velocidad; igual \"wide\", se refiere a dimensiones y no al caudal. \"Big\", igual se refiere a dimensiones y no al caudal.

Es importante el contexto, que no nos dio mucho. Si el contexto es tecnico, yo recomiendo la opcion mia. Si es mas de literatura, puede ser mejor la del Sr. DonQuijote arriba.

\"Flow\" is a function of volume AND time.

If you want to get creative, you could say the \"voluptuous\" rivers.

\"Raging river\" or \"wild waters\" might work for \"caudal alborotado.\"

gushing, racing, surging or powerful!

some more options.

I think powerful or mighty, suggested above, may be best.

gushing I think says the right thing, but it's not (IMO) a very attractive word for a tourist brochure - don't know why just don't like the sound!

surging is a possibility, though it might suggest that the rivers are about to break their banks and flood your lovely spot!

if I have any better ideas I'll add them later.

abundant, plentiful

Hola lilacas,
Estas son las opciones que da el Diccionario Simon & Schuster's Bilingüe hablando de un río específicamente.
Dice:

caudaloso, sa a. 1. abundant, plentiful (a river, lake, waterfall).

Buena suerte y saludos del Oso ¶:^)
