Title: Developing bays

Development of bay BE-07

2 of the 9 bays studied comply with environmental and technical criteria

  Our actions   Our reasons for acting
Work area: Environments adjacent to the reservoir

In both bays, where they narrow, we will set up a dike with a weir, a fish pass, and a spawning ground. We will then carry out further development within the portions enclosed by the dike: clearing land, stocking fish, creating nesting areas for waterfowl, etc.

Without remedial measures, the bays of a reservoir are not very productive.
The measures will reduce water level fluctuations, which will facilitate use of the environment by waterfowl and encourage creation of riparian habitats for land animals.
