The Jima River (Spanish: Río Jima) is a 33.73 km (20.96 mi)[1] long river in central Dominican Republic. The Rincón Reservoir (Spanish: Presa de Rincón) lies along the river.[2] The river originates in Las Neblinas, Bonao, Monseñor Nouel Province and reaches its mouth at the Camú River in Jima Abajo, La Vega Province.[3][4]
The Rincon Dam, a hydroelectric, municipal water and supply water for irrigation facility, was built along its path and opened in 1978.[5]
