      Are you serious? There is so much water being lost to evaporation, transpiration, seepage, run off. These are all natural processes rasta.
      I agree on the other hand that we can find other ways to more efficiently utilize our abundance of water. But to call it a waste, when this water fall is all part of the hydrological cycle.. I disagree.

        @ Homeboy

        It is not really a waste. The water just keeps flowing and with the hot sun it evaporates and keeps re-entering into DA which is indeed a cycle.
        Some of this water is bottled, shipped and sold overseas where it is needed. Am I correct?
        The flow of consistent water is a mystery in itself. Thanks be to God. God is so good!

      @ rastaman 137

      This is why Dominicans should not be paying for cold water. There is enough of it in DA.

      @ Antiguan

      If you are residing in Antigua, those nationals would be happy to have this type of fresh and clean water. Dominica is indeed blest.
      In previous years I spent some time in Antigua and the water tasted bad. It is only good for bathing, washing the hands and brushing the teeth but not for drinking. It is not my intention to demean you, Antigua or Antiguans in general. I know some very nice Antiguans and had a wonderful time when I visited there. I love Antigua. Sometime I hope to visit there again. I would never cry down the country. What DA possesses it lacks. Likewise Antigua. This entails every country of the world. We make the most of what we have.
      Today, what is the water like in Antigua?

      @ G.I. Joe

      Who are you and where are you located? Are you in Texas and the likes? You sound like the Americans in those days who thought that all Canadians were Eskimos and lived in Igloos.
      Yes! Some Americans have made such statements and even on responding to U.S. Websites. Now that many more people possess computers, they are better learned and exposed to the different types of countries in the world, our living habits; no exception DA. In this day and age you should be more broadminded.

      There goes “Big!” Making me laugh again. :lol: Pottersville? It only has the sea and further on leading to Roseau, the river. I know you mean no harm. Keep us laughing. We do need a good laugh. :lol:

    nice but some dry sand should have been included in the pic…looks cold…looks like a rainy day…the focus is a little too narrow..if that’s a good way of putting it

    • MangoSweet
      September 20, 2011

      Tiny, how could you expect to have dry sand in such a photo? When the waves are washing right up against the rock wall? So the beach will always appear to be glistening wet, even on the driest of days. Comeon, give the photographer (I have no idea who thatis, BTW) some credit for a good job!!

      Believe me, Dominica is not missing you. Whereever you are in the world, you will always meet life trials. Do not forget when you leave your country, there are many more people from the foriegn lands that are populating the island. Its seems that is only when the citezens of dominica become very old, that is the time they want to come back home. This time in their life they cannot take full advatage of the island natural healing.

    That’s ANBA WAVIN SIWIK Falls at River Cyrique. Depending on the amount of build-up of sand on the beach, the waterfall sometimes falls directly on to the beach. Interesting mini-adventure to get down to the beach to view that waterfall. I have been there, so I know. lol

      Mango sweet, that’s right. I’ve been there when the water falls onto the black sandy beach… Definitely a challenge to get there, so I’ve seen it from the top looking down… DA and it’s wonders!!!

    • olderman

      I love this falls, there are periods when water falls drectly on the large stone there, you can swimm in the ocean and after you can take a natural shower.
      The way down, I think, is not a easy one, however I am older man and I can get there. A few yards of rope and ladders … take care!

        Coming from this height, the smallest of rock being carrid along in this could cause serious injury.
