Terrain, waters and landscape
Waters
Ribeira Seca forms one of the largest valleys and stream systems in the Santa Cruz municipality. While dry on the surface during arid months, its underground water resources sustain nearby banana and coconut plantations. During heavy rains, it channels waters from the heights of Cabo Verde to the Atlantic. For its geographic context, explore the Map section.
