The river, once a strong sinuosity, has a length of about after linearization. Its basin has an area of approximately . Its bed of gravel has a depth varying from and a width of . The edges suffer from frequent
erosion. The river is then diverted from its course, and the new meanders must be linearized again every three years. Also, the bed must be periodically freed from gravel deposits due to erosion. The river is rich in
brook trout, but linearization work has compromised the integrity of the habitat. == Toponymy ==
