North River (Dominica)

The North River is a river located on the island of Dominica. It is one of several rivers that drain the mountainous interior of the island and flow towards the Caribbean Sea. The North River is situated in the northern portion of Dominica, generally within the Saint Andrew Parish. While not the longest or largest river on the island, it plays a role in the local ecosystem and water resources of the area it traverses. Specific details regarding its length, drainage basin size, or significant settlements along its banks may vary depending on the source. As with many of Dominica’s rivers, the North River is subject to seasonal variations in flow, with increased volume during the rainy season and decreased flow during drier periods. Its water quality and surrounding riparian zone are likely affected by agricultural practices, deforestation, and other human activities in the watershed.
