Drainage and soils None of Puerto Rico’s rivers is large enough for navigation, but several northward-flowing rivers are harnessed for municipal water supplies, irrigation, and hydroelectricity, and along the south coast irrigation is essential for agriculture. Puerto Rico’s precipitation mainly falls on the north-facing mountain slopes, so that most of the permanent rivers flow from the interior to the north and west coasts, including the Grande de Loíza, Grande de Arecibo, and Grande de Añasco rivers—all of which are some 40 miles (65 km) long—and La Plata, which extends 46 miles (75 km).

A small but persistent minority has advocated independence. The land Relief Puerto Rico is largely composed of mountainous and hilly terrain, with nearly one-fourth of the island covered by steep slopes. The mountains are the easternmost extension of a tightly folded and faulted ridge that extends from the Central American mainland across the northern Caribbean to the Lesser Antilles. Although Puerto Rican relief is relatively low by continental standards, the island sits less than 100 miles (160 km) south of a precipitous depression in Earth’s crust: an extensive submarine feature of the Atlantic known as the Puerto Rico Trench, which descends to more than 5 miles (8 km) below sea level—the Atlantic’s deepest point—at a site northeast of the Dominican Republic.
Caribbean Series 2023: TV schedule, channel, scores for baseball's Serie del CaribeThe return of the World Baseball Classic after a six-year absence will get plenty of hype this spring, but fans don't have to wait until it begins next month to watch competitive baseball. Days before pitchers and catchers report to MLB spring training, the Caribbean Series is set to get underway in Venezuela. The 65th edition of the beloved competition will feature eight teams representing winter leagues around Latin America, two more than last year's event in the Dominican Republic. Colombia will try to defend its crown after upsetting the host Dominicans in the final, but this year's home team will be motivated to come through for what are sure to be raucous crowds in Caracas and La Guaira. In addition to the teams from those three winter leagues and standbys Mexico, Panama and Puerto Rico, this year's event sees Cuba return to the competition and will also include a team from Curaçao.
Near the island’s eastern tip, the partly isolated Sierra de Luquillo rises to 3, 494 feet (1, 065 metres) at El Yunque Peak. The northwestern foothills and lowlands are characterized by karst features, including sinkholes (sumideros), caverns, and eroded mogotes, or haystack hills (pepinos). There is a continuous but narrow lowland along the north coast, where most people live, and smaller bands along the south and west coasts that also include densely populated areas. The Caguas Basin, in the Grande de Loíza River valley south of San Juan, is the largest of several basins in the mountains that provide level land for settlements and agriculture. The islands of Mona, Vieques, and Culebra are generally hilly but ringed by narrow coastal plains; Vieques rises to 988 feet (301 metres) at Mount Pirata.
