Rivers are apart of Jamaica's Physical features. According to BBC s a river " is fresh water flowing across the surface of the land, usually to the sea. It flows in a channel. The bottom of the channel is called the bed and the sides of the channel are called the banks.
Most of the rivers in Jamaica are not navigable. The height of the mountains causes them to run swiftly in deep beds, and their courses are sometimes broken by waterfalls. One exception is the Black River, the largest river in Jamaica. It is 73 kilometres (44 miles) long, and for 28 kilometres (17 miles) from its mouth it is navigable for small vessels.
