It extends from the Bay of Boquerón (Cabo Rojo) in the west to Guánica Bay in the east; by the north and by the south is limited by a series of hills of low elevation. The Lajas Valley, properly speaking, is a uniform plain 20 miles long by 3 wide with an area of ​​30,454 acres. The average rainfall is 35 inches and most of it occurs in the months of September, October and November. The fertile soils, flat topography and considerable extension of land, limited by environmental conditions for intensive agricultural exploitation, were decisive factors in creating governmental interest for the establishment of irrigation facilities in the Lajas Valley.
