Travaux en cours sur le bassin de la Dordogne : suppression du seuil de Pont de Rhodes

Between the departments of Lot and Cantal, work is being carried out on the Ressegue, a tributary of the Cère. Under the project management of the Syndicat Mixte de la Dordogne Moyenne et Cère Aval (SMDMCA), an obstacle to the river’s continuity is being removed. This priority action was considered important by the expert team of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes National Pearl Mussel Action Plan, as it would result in significant ecological benefits for the river and the possible connection of two pearl mussel populations. More than 12.3 km of river upstream and 23 km of river throughout the catchment will be reconnected. The site will be restored in early October. Other SMDMCA projects are also supported by the European Rivers Network and the Open Rivers Programme, notably in the Branugues basin, where a study to remove the Batitan weir has just been completed.
