The Great Water is a right tributary of the Doveria in the Swiss canton of Valais, around 13 kilometers long .
It rises about five kilometers above the village of Zwischenbergen near the border with Italy . About two kilometers after the source, it forms a small pond. A few kilometers down the valley it flows past intermediate mountains. Below the village it forms a larger lake. In the district of Gondo , where the Zwischenbergenstrasse meets the larger Simplon road, the river flows into the Doveria, which is called Diveria after the border with Italy .
