Summary[edit]

Description
English: Châtillon-Coligny, Loiret, Centre region, France. Rue de Cullion, at n° 13. Old bridge over a waterway in the town center. Châtillon's hydrology has been worked on in such a way that the Loing river, which of old used to feed the main part of the inner city waterways until the building of the canal de Briare in the 17th century, since then shares its waters with the canal at a point upstream of the town, and leaves it only downstream of it (at the La Ronce spillway). An arm of the canal comes to the town, but most of its water goes to feed the old moat which runs along the Boulevard de la République. Inner town's waterways are mostly fed by the Milleron, a tributary of the Loing. This explains why the water level in this picture is so low, in the middle of winter at a time when all natural rivers of this area are currently flooding their surroundings.
Français : Châtillon-Coligny, Loiret, région Centre. Rue de Cullion, en face du n° 13. Pont au-dessus d'une voie d'eau du centre ville. L'hydrologie de Châtillon-Coligny a été de longue date aménagée de telle sorte que le Loing partage ses eaux avec le canal de Briare dès avant son entrée dans Châtillon, et ne le quitte qu'en aval de la ville (au déversoir de la Ronce). Une voie d'eau venant du canal vient arroser la ville, mais se retrouve essentiellement à fournir en eau les anciennes douvesn qui courent le long du Boulevard de la République. Les voies d'eau du centre ville proprement dit, comme celle-ci, sont alimentées principalement par le Milleron, un affluent du Loing. Ceci explique le peu de débit vu ici, en plein hiver, à une saison de haut étiage pendant laquelle tous les cours d'eau naturels des environs inondent présentement leurs abords.
