The Ravine Séche (German: "dry stream") is a stream in the north of Dominica in the Parish Saint Andrew . It rises below the eastern flank of the Morne aux Diables at about 350 m above sea level in Embas de l'Eau and flows east. It takes in several smaller streams (from La Vie douce Estate ) and passes Vieille Case in the south. After a steep descent, it flows south of Vieille Case into the Atlantic . Another nameless stream flows in the immediate vicinity. The river is only about 2.4 km long and marks the edge of the Paix Bouche . The catchment area of the Balthazar joins to the north and the headwaters of the Grand Riviére and Thibaud Rivers arise in the south .
The name suggests that the Ravine Séche does not have water all year round.
