The Ikiopa is the finest river within a great distance of the Capital, which at unequal distances it almost surrounds. It rises in the east, runs southward, bearing to the west, where several tributary streams from the Ankaratra range augments its waters; continuing its course, it at length falls into the Betsiboka |

Under Mr. Cameron alone, who was engaged in the construction of machinery and other public works, nearly six hundred youths were constantly employed. Under his superintendence a canal was
cut between the river Ikiopa and a lake at Amparibe, which was converted into a reservoir of water for the powder-mills, which were also erected by Mr. Cameron. |

We left Antananarivo on Thursday afternoon, 13th September, a large number of our missionary friends accompanying us for a distance out of the city, in fact as far as the banks of the Ikopa, along which our route lay for several miles. Here one could not but be again impressed with the importance of these river banks in preserving the rice-fields from being flooded, and by the good work done by the old kings of Imerina in embanking the river and thus turning marsh and bog into fruitful fields. |

Part of our fifth and the whole of our sixth and last day's land journey was taken at no great distance from the Ikopa river; and I began to wonder where the western belt-forest was; for, as we have seen, we had passed through no such masses of dense forest as must be crossed anywhere on the eastern side of the island when one comes up to the interior of Madagascar. |

East and south, there is little but hills of all shapes and sizes to be seen, except along the valleys of the river Ikopa and its tributaries, which come from the edge of the upper forest, thirty miles or so away to the east. |

Dans la clarté matinale, la rive ouest de l'Ikopa semblait un décor de théâtre; on eût dit un tableau illustrant un conte de fées. Saturées d'humidité et luisante de rosée, la forêt brillait avec des reflets métalliques et la terre rouge formait tache sur la verdure... Sur les bords de la rivière, recouverts par l'eau en période de crue, la végétation était d'une luxuriance inimaginable. D'immense arbres aux branches ourlées de lianes se dressaient au-dessus des broussailles; des fougères et des orchidées s'accrochaient aux ramures et des bambous, aux tiges drues et grosses comme le bras, émergeaient, droits et brillants, de la futaie plongée dans la pénombre. |

On ne doit ni porter des toho ni en parler lorsqu'on va traverser la rivière Onive, qui coule au sud d'Antananarivokely, comme l'Ikopa passe au sud d'Antananarivo. |

En apercevant l'Ikopa, Andrianavalontompo se maudit lui-même en ces termes: "Ô, crocodiles et caïmans qui vivez là-dedans, ô célèbre Ikopa, si je ne puis arriver à Betsimihafy, dévorez-moi, noyez-moi, eaux, car les crocodiles ont peur de me mettre à mort!" |

Ny orana tsy niato hatramin' ny asabotsy alina sy omaly tontolo andro nentin' ny rivodoza Ivan no nitarika izany. 0, 77 m ny haavon' Ikopa eo Anosizato. Niakatra 0, 44 m izy tao anatin' ny 24 ora ary mbola hiakatra hatrany. Tsy ho tratra anefa ny 3 m refy fanairana milaza loza manambana eo Anosizato. 2, 10 m i Ikopa eo Bevomanga, 4 m ny refy fanairana milaza loza eo. |
