The Raumoco ( Ribeira Raumoco ) is a river in the East Timorese municipality of Lautém , which flows north from the interior of the island into the Wetar Strait .

course

Estuarine crocodiles can be found between the mangroves near the estuary

It rises in the border area between the Sucos Baricafa and Luro , follows the border a little to the south, before it swings to the east and crosses Luro. Then the Raumoco flows north along the border with Suco Maina II and further along the border of Afabubu and Cotamutu in the west and Maina II in the east. Coming from Maina II, the Roumoco flows into the Raumoco. The Adafuro rises in the Suco Lacawa , flows through the Suco to the north, forms part of the border between Cotamutu and Afabubu and then crosses Afabubu until it flows into the Raumoco. After leaving Afabubu and Maina II, the Raumoco crosses the Suco Daudere , on the north coast of which it flows into the Strait of Wetar. The Builui rises in the north of the Sucos Maina II and crosses Sen Suco Daudere in the southeast, before it flows into the Raumoco near Daudere.

During the dry season , the river is one of the main sources of water for the community's population.
