Why does the Loire river in France have an irregular flow?
The Loire river is the longest river in France with 1013 km, and has a very large basin. The months of January to March are usually when the flow is at its highest point. Flowing and flood risk are increased by Cevenol rains (torrential downpours) in the southern part of the basin, and by the oceanic regime rains occuring in northwards zones, up from the Massif Central. In a rainy winter, the addition of both causes may cause a huge increase in the river flow (up to thousands of cubic metres/second). The creation of three dams on the upper part of the Loire river basin greatly reduced the risk of floods and allowed to support the frequently meager (a few tens of cubic meters/second) summer flow.
