Barrage de la Rouvière, Flood control dam between Bragassargues and Quissac, France.
The Barrage de la Rouvière is a flood control dam located between Bragassargues and Quissac in France. The structure holds back water to protect the valley from flooding.
After a major flood in 1958, the region began building protection structures against flooding. This dam was completed in 1970.
Paths around the site lead through cattle and horse farms, showing how farming and water management are linked in this region.
Access to this site is available through local paths that run past surrounding farms. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and be prepared for changing weather conditions.
During extreme weather in September 2017, high temperatures caused significant fish mortality in the reservoir. The event showed how the ecosystem can be vulnerable to rapid climate changes.
