Really? According to INDRHI there are 34

Back in 2002-3 when Halcrow was contracted to do the inspection (after Hurricane Georges in 1998) of DR's dams, their remit was to inspect all large dams in the DR which they then numbered at 24.
Where did you get 8 from? |
Lambada, from first hand knowledge I can attest to the fact that Las Barias (Bani) does NOT have a dam named Las Barias (I own some land and a shack there). My mother was born there and many family members still live there, so, I'm quite familiar with the area and the dam. The only dam considered part of Las Barias is Valdesia. Jiguey-Aguacate is considered one dam not two as listed on The INDRHI site. I have 2 cousins that have been working in Valdesia for the past 15 years and a friend that has been working in Jiguey-Aguacate since mid 2002.
I think the list on the INDRHI site is inaccurate base on what I know of the Nizao area dams or perhaps they are using some strange way of determining what a dam is. In any case I'm going to call my cousin that works in Valdesia to ask him about the Las Barias dam and also the Jiguey dam. I'll post an update when I talk to him.
