The area in pink represents the urban zone of the cityBucan\u00e1 River (Spanish: R\u00edo Bucan\u00e1) is a river in the municipality of Ponce, Puerto Rico. R\u00edo Bucan\u00e1 has its origin in barrio Machuelo Arriba where it forms at an altitude of 115 feet (35\u00a0m). It forms from the confluence of R\u00edo Cerrillos and R\u00edo Bayag\u00e1n.[9][note a] It is also fed by R\u00edo Portugues during its southernly run. R\u00edo Bucan\u00e1 used to run for some 29.5 kilometers (18.3\u00a0mi)[10] prior to canalization and other diversion work by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It now runs for 5.89 miles (9.48\u00a0km) to drain into the Caribbean Sea. This river is one of the 14 rivers in the municipality.Table of ContentsTributaries[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Tributaries[edit]R\u00edo Bucan\u00e1 is formed in barrio Machuelo Arriba by the confluence of the Bayag\u00e1n and Cerrillos rivers.[10] It has two tributaries, R\u00edo Portugues and R\u00edo Cerrillos. R\u00edo Bucan\u00e1 originates in Cordillera Central at Monte Jayuya and runs in a winding fashion to the south receiving feeds from Rio Jauca, Rio Bayagan and Quebrada Guayo.[11] R\u00edo Bucan\u00e1 is channelized from the point it enters the city of Ponce and until it is fed by Rio Portugues (a river that is also channelized) in Barrio Bucan\u00e1 at the southern tip of Julio Enrique Monagas Family Park.[12] The channelization project started in 1974[13] and was completed in 1997.[14] It was a multimillion-dollar investment, with just the first phase costing $120 million.[15] The river empties into the Caribbean Sea near La Guancha. A section of the river used to run alongside Route 14, near the former Hospital de Distrito (now Hospital San Lucas), but it has since been diverted.[16]The following table summarizes the course of R\u00edo Bucan\u00e1 in terms of roads crossed. Roads are listed as the river flows from its origin at the confluence of R\u00edo Bayag\u00e1n and R\u00edo Cerrillos rivers, located in Barrio Machuelo Arriba, north of the city of Ponce, to its emptying into the Caribbean Sea in Barrio Bucan\u00e1 in the south (N\/A = Data not available):R\u00edo Bucan\u00e1 is largely used for irrigation of crops on the southern plains of Puerto Rico located east of the city of Ponce.[18]See also[edit]1.^ One reliable source, (Puerto Rico Department of Environmental Resources)[19] dated February 2007, states that this river forms from the confluence of R\u00edo Cerrillos and R\u00edo Bayag\u00e1n. However, another reliable source, (Puerto Rico Office of Management and Budget)[20] not dated but using data with dates that fluctuate between 2001 and 2010, shows the river forms from various minor streams, and that R\u00edo Cerrillos is a feeder river to R\u00edo Bucan\u00e1. In this article we are using the first source as the most reliable. Still, given that the U.S. Corps of Engineers has been working in redirecting and canalizing R\u00edo Bucan\u00e1, the reader is advised that the actual origin of the current river may be one of the two stated above or may well be different yet.References[edit]^ U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System: R\u00edo Bucan\u00e1^ Maptest.
