Le Régime de la Garonne

Multi-scale analysis of habitat use during late summer for 0+ fishes in the River Garonne (France)

“…In comparison with other French rivers, the Garonne is one of the least managed, and it still possesses most of its wild character, including a natural hydrological regime. The Garonne's hydrological characteristics are linked to the basin's altitude, type of soil, vegetation, orientation and most important to the two major climatic systems on the "Garonnais" basin, which leads to a complex overflow mechanism (Parde, 1935); the Oceanic system (type Pyrenean and Classical) and the Mediterranean system. The river bed is unstable, which contributes to the creation of side-arms and oxbows (Decamps and Naiman, 1989;Belaud et al, 1990).…”

L'architecture morpho-sédimentaire de la basse plaine de la garonne moyenne en aval de Toulouse : premiers résultats

“…Elle collecte des eaux en provenance de trois zones géographiques distinctes : les Pyrénées au sud, le Massif central à l'est et le Bassin aquitain. De ce fait, elle est soumise à des influences climatiques aussi bien atlantiques que méditerranéennes, qui lui confèrent un régime de crues complexes (Pardé, 1935). Les travaux sur la géomorphologie de la plaine sont peu nombreux (Harlé, 1895 ;Lambert, 1989 ;Steiger & Corenblit, 2000) ou restent très locaux.…”

Modelling trace metal transfer in large rivers under dynamic hydrology: A coupled hydrodynamic and chemical equilibrium model

“…The Garonne River (South-West of France) is the third largest river of France and is eighth order at its mouth. It exhibits a nivo-pluvial regime with the influence of the winter snow precipitation in the Pyrenean Mountains at its inlet (Pardé, 1935) . G., 1989).…”
