Simple download service (Atom) of the dataset: Installation designed to use hydropower in the Gard (power less than 4 500 kW)

Installation comprising the device supplying mechanical energy (spring wheels, turbines) and equipment using this energy (manufacture of flour, generators of electricity, etc.).The old installations (such as old mills) — more or less preserved — can benefit from a special regime (water rights) and must therefore also be known to the services, and therefore listed in this data.Dams, thresholds, or other holding structures, but not providing energy, are listed in specific layers. Installations of more than 4500 kiloWatts are covered by the Law of 16 October 1919 on the use of hydropower. Cascade retains only those with a power of less than 4,500 kw under the water policy (the others are concessions under DRIRE). The layer contains only P<4500kW installations
