Laruma River is a watercourse on Bougainville in the Solomon Islands of the Pacific Ocean. [1] Located on the west coast of the island at the edge of the Keriaka Limestone Plateau, the Laruma drains into the Solomon Sea. [2] The mouth of the river lies north of village of Laruma (population 141 in 1972 [3]) and south of Turupei. [2] The Laruma River marks the boundary between Bannoni language-speaking people to the south and Pivu language-speaking people to the north. [4] Circa 2001, the Laruma River valley had a population density of 14 people per km2. [5]
