Characteristics of Rivers in CUBA: Small watersheds and short rivers 85 % of rivers are less than 40Km long and the basin is less than 200km2 TOPOGRAPHY In the Central South and Eastern regions rivers have steep slopes

6% of Cubans must get their water from cistern trucks or other means, mainly due to the effects of drought and/or damage to pumps.
