Rainfall recorded during the month of July was scarce and mainly concentrated
in two brief thunderstorm episodes. The rain that fell last weekend proved
insufficient to reverse the dry trend observed over the past several weeks.
In light of this, and in order to preserve water resources and ensure their continued availability for all uses, the prefect
of the Hautes-Alpes has decided, pursuant to the framework decree on drought dated July 8, 2024:
- to place the Buëch and Haute-Durance watersheds on ALERT;
See prefectural decree of July 29
As a result, rinsing boats using the hydrants on the docks is prohibited.
The use of high-pressure washers at the boat-cleaning area located at Baie Saint Michel remains permitted.
Conserving water resources and protecting aquatic environments is everyone’s responsibility!
