The Hers Girou basin authority has completed renaturation work on the Saune river in Sainte-Foy-d'Aigrefeuille, aimed at restoring the watercourse downstream of the lake.

This work is part of the project to disconnect the lake and the Saune river, carried out in consultation with the municipality. The objective was to restore the different sections of the watercourse downstream of the lake, including the riverbed, the left bank, and the riparian vegetation.
The operations involved the creation of islets, spurs, and low banks. A total of 186 tons of materials were added to the riverbed. Additionally, 832 trees and shrubs were planted.
