Antigua and Barbuda has one of the driest climates in the Caribbean, and thus, few streams and watercourses compared to its neighbours. While there are some relatively large creeks such as Cooks Creek and Fitches Creek on Antigua, most watercourses on the island are ghauts (), a term used in the Caribbean to refer to ravines that send rainwater into a larger creek or the ocean. Freshwater is usually extracted from Antiguan creeks and ghauts after significant rainfall or during parts of the rainy season. These ghauts tend to become saltier the closer they are to the ocean.Water Resources Assessment of Dominica, Antigua, Barbuda, St. Kitts and Nevis , GEOnet Names Server Barbuda has several unnamed ruts that appear after significant rainfall events.
