Nizao is one of the most important rivers in the Dominican Republic. Three hydroelectric power/electrical plants have been built along its path, the largest at Jiguey Dam.^[1] It is dried because of decade of aggregate extraction. Luis Carvajal, a top Dominican ecologist, estimated a cost of RD$350M per km to recover the river.^[2]

History

On 14 April 1655 Robert Venables landed with a contingent of the English New Model Army at the mouth of the Nizao River in preparation for a land attack on Santo Domingo.^[3] Vice-Admiral William Goodsonn was also landed with an auxiliary "sea regiment", composed of sailors. Their superior discipline enabled them to save the other soldiers from catastrophe during two Spanish ambushes.^[3] After two attempted assaults, the siege was abandoned.^[3]
