You mean there are days for rafting and days without rafting on the Verdon? Is the river closed or is it? No, the flow is regulated by a dam.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Operation of the dam outside July-August<\/h2>\n<p>It is <a href=\"https:\/\/verdonxp.com\/en\/castillon-sainte-croix-the-five-lakes-of-verdon\/\"><strong>the Chaudanne<\/strong> <strong>dam<\/strong><\/a> which has this role, it regulates the flow from the Verdon from Castellane to Lake Sainte Croix. In the spring, EDF provides us with its information on water flows the day before for the next day. Saturday-Sunday in May and June are not normally turbined (dam closed). Indeed, this measure serves to secure the most abundant attendance of weekends. Over this period, you will therefore need to be patient. During the week, the next day&#8217;s activity cannot be confirmed until the evening before. For fans of rafting and canoeing, it is always possible to go sailing on Haut Verdon for an additional hour&#8217;s drive from Castellane.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Operation of the dam in July-August<\/h2>\n<p>In summer, this is somewhat different &#8230; Indeed, EDF assures us two days of releases per week in the months of July and August, which lets a little see coming &#8230; These days are Tuesday and Friday for rafting and canoeing. The remaining five days are open to the Aqua Treking activity, day and half day.<\/p>\n<p>Now, from year to year, there can be big changes as evidenced by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/verdonxp.com\/en\/in-the-verdon-climate-change-2017-2018\/\">an article published this fall on the blog<\/a><\/strong>. Indeed, the accumulated snow reserves during the winter play an extremely important role. In fact, with a lot of snow, there is more days of water in summer. Heavy snowfall and cool weather in the spring play a large part in increasing the number of turbined days in summer.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Reserved flow<\/h2>\n<p>The days of &#8220;closure&#8221; correspond to what is called the<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/hydrologie.org\/glu\/FRDIC\/DICDEBRE.HTM\"> &#8220;reserved debit&#8221;<\/a><\/strong>. In fact, EDF ensures the survival of the river by maintaining a minimum flow on closing days. The reserved flow is 3 cubic meters seconds all year round but increases to 1.5 cubic meters seconds from June 15 to September 1.<\/p>\n<p>So, &#8220;Rafting days and water levels on the verdon&#8221; have no more secrets for you.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/verdonxp.com\/en\/canoe-verdon-gorges\/\"><strong>The Funny Helmets.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rafting days and water levels on the verdon?
