List of rivers of Saint Lucia facts for kids
Saint Lucia is a beautiful island country located in the Caribbean Sea. Like many islands, it has many rivers and streams that flow from its hills down to the ocean. This article will tell you about the rivers of Saint Lucia.
Rivers of Saint Lucia
Saint Lucia is home to about 180 different streams and rivers! Most of these rivers flow into either the Atlantic Ocean on the east side of the island or the Caribbean Sea on the west side. Only a couple of rivers, like the Roseau and Migny, don't directly reach the coast.
The longest river on the island is the Roseau River. It covers a large area of about 48 square kilometers (about 18.5 square miles). Rivers and their smaller streams form what are called "drainage basins." Think of a basin as a big bowl where all the rainwater collects and flows into one main river. Saint Lucia has 28 different drainage basins for its rivers.
