geography

The Charles Warner River rises in the north slope of the Morne Fraser ( Perdu Temps ) and receives tributaries from the northeast slope of the Morne La Source , where the Charlet Warner Secret Pools are also to be found ( ⊙ ). It runs in a west curve from south to north and flows into the Pagua River from the right and south at Bois Diable Plantation . Shortly beforehand, along with other unnamed streams, it receives inflow from the Ravine Bois Diable .

The springs are 500  m above sea level .
