The refreshing theme of water in Charente-Maritime 

  • biological (water food),

  • ecological (water aquatic biotope),

  • hydraulic (the average water transport and energy transformer)

  • symbolic (water symbol of purity, fertility).

 

Because of its many properties, water is a great excuse to take an interest in human activities throughout history.
