Today the Kamo-gawa River (Yodo-gawa River system) divides the Takase-gawa River into two; the Kyoto side section and Fushimi side section--the upstream side is called Takase-gawa River and the downstream side is called Higashi-takase-gawa River or Shin-takase-gawa River.
現在は鴨川(淀川水系)において京都側と伏見側で分断されており、上流側を高瀬川、下流側を東高瀬川、新高瀬川と呼ぶ。
