Ribeira da Garça

Ribeira da Garça[1] is a river in the northern part of the island of Santo Antão in Cape Verde.

Its source is on the north side of the eastern plateau of the island, northeast of Pico Moroços.

It flows into the Atlantic Ocean near Chã de Igreja.

Due to silting and problems in water supply, electricity and the absence of an irrigation network, aggravated by flood damage in 2016, the reservoir has not brought the expected benefits.
