[FR] Ces ruisseaux, qui deviennent le Créneau, coulent aujourd’hui avec un débit très faible par rapport à leur débit naturel, du fait de la confiscation de l’eau par un barrage souterain. Ce dernier conduit directement la plus grande partie de l’eau au bas du village, par une conduite forcée, vers une mini-centrale électrique aujourd’hui unaniment contestée par ses habitants.

[EN] These streams, which become the Créneau, today flow at at a low volume with respect to their natural volume, owing to the diversion of water by an underground dam. It conducts most of the water to the lower village by a pipe to the small power plant today unanimously contested by the inhabitants.
