La Motte-du-Caire (France),
durance catchment. Photograph taken in June 1998. The
Saignon dam reservoir (1961, H = 17 m, volum: 1.8 E+5 m3)
became fully-silted in less than 2 years despite upstream check dams.
View from the right bank of the dam, looking upstream. The reservoir
is located in a black marl catchment (3.5 km2 area).
