Barrage de la Rouvière, Flood control dam between Bragassargues and Quissac, France.
The Rouvière Dam spans 150 meters in length and reaches 25 meters in height, creating a reservoir that covers 2.15 square kilometers.
The construction of flood control dams in this region began after a significant flood event in 1958, with the Rouvière Dam completion in 1970.
The dam area includes paths through bull and horse breeding farms, connecting local agricultural traditions with water management infrastructure.
The dam features two butterfly valves that allow controlled emptying of the reservoir at a rate of 12 cubic meters per second.
During extreme weather conditions in September 2017, the dam's ecosystem faced severe challenges when high temperatures caused substantial fish mortality.
