CamĂș River
river, Dominican Republic
CamĂș River, river in north-central and northeastern Dominican Republic. Its headstreams rise in the Cordillera Central near La Vega. Other tributaries flow from the Cordillera Septentrional near Moca. The CamĂș, about 50 miles (80 km) long, flows generally eastward across the fertile La Vega Real region, joining the Yuna River just southeast of Pimentel. A network of canals branching out from the CamĂș River and its tributaries is used principally for irrigating rice.
