  • Topography and Geology Esperanza III, Which
    The Study on the Integrated Rural Development of Former Sugarcane Plantation Area and Final Report the Pilot Project of La Luisa Area, Monte Plata Province 5.4 Model Area of Group C : Esperanza III Area 5.4.1 Natural Conditions (1) Topography and Geology Esperanza III, which belongs to Valverde Province in the northwest of the Dominican Republic, is located at the 12km northeast of Mao where is the seat of the provincial office and at the 33km northwest of Santiago where is the second largest city in the country. The area is at longitude 71°12’ W and latitude 18°27’ N. The farmland of the area is situated between the Yaque del Norte River and Northern Mountains and declines gently from north to south within 80m to 100m in altitude. The area mainly consists of fluvial deposits such as muck, limy sand, clay and gravel in the Quaternary by the Yaque del Norte River and its tributaries. (2) Meteorology Esperanza III is located in Cibao that is a granary of the Dominican Republic, and is 12-km far from Mao where meteorological data are collected. In Mao where is in the middle of Cibao Valley, annual rainfall records about 700-mm but Esperanza III is supposed to have more rainfall, more than 1000 mm, since the area is at the foot of Septentrional Mountains. A vegetation map shows that Esperanza III is a part of subtropical dry forest as the same as Tamayo. The meteorological data in Mao indicate that there are two rainy seasons (from May to June and from September to October) but more than six months have less than 5 rainy days.
