Le Noeud
Hydraulique de Bazoin
The
Hydraulic Node at Bazouin
On the
borders of 3 communes: Maille, Damvix and La Ronde where 3 departments meet:
Deux Sevre, Charente-Maritime and the Vendee this group of engineering works
constitutes a major site in determining the hydaulic management of the wetlands
of the Marais Poitevin.
From 1855 to 1960 the site has seen successive
changes to modernize these impressive mechanisms. The Deux Sevre dam was built
first, such installations maintain constant water levels in the marshes of the
Marais Poitevin.
Today modern techniques have replaced man in
operating the works. The dam and the release of water are controlled by radio
systems and electronic probes
