The Rhône: From The Swiss Alps To The Camargue
Synopsis
This documentary shows a river that, while it has been tamed and straightened since the end of the 19th century, is still sometimes wild and dangerous. That taming encompasses 23 power stations that have dammed it and hundreds of kilometres of dykes, built to protect the residents from flooding. Climate change will also affect the Rhône: it will carry less water in summer, and more severe floods are expected, especially in autumn. This is one of the reasons why the course of the Rhône is once again being corrected, but it is also a matter of re-naturalisation, especially of the oxbow lakes, which show what the Rhône once looked like everywhere.
