Most of the rivers in Barbados are dry due to the permeable nature of the coralline karstic limestone. Water finds its way into the aquifers via gullies and sinkholes. As a result there are no perennial rivers which may be used for water supply. In the Scotland district, much of the rainfall is lost through runoff to the sea due to the relatively impermeable oceanic rocks. However, at times of intense rainfall the gullies do become flooded, often causing localized flooding downstream (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations- Country profile)
