Barrage du Marillet
Dam built between 1983 and 1987 on the Marillet river
Presentation of: Barrage du Marillet
The dam was built to meet the ever-increasing need for drinking water, but also to support the low-water levels of the Lay and the marshes downstream, and to irrigate neighbouring land.
The reservoir created by the dam covers 127 hectares and contains 7,300,000 m3 of water.
The lake is also a great place for fishing.
