Summary[edit]

Description
Français : La Langue de Barbarie est une mince flèche de sable de quelques centaines de mètres de large qui a la vocation de protéger la cité de l’assaut des vagues. Malheureusement elle empêche une évacuation rapide des eaux du fleuve lors des crues. De ce fait, la cité était soumise à des inondations fluviales récurrentes en fin de saison des pluies. L’ouverture artificielle d’une brèche, 7 kilomètres au sud de la ville, suite à la crue d’octobre 2003, a radicalement changé l’inondabilité de la cité.
English: The Langue de Barbarie is a thin sand spit a few hundred meters wide which is designed to protect the city from the onslaught of wave. Unfortunately it prevents a rapid evacuation of water from the river during floods. As a result, the city was subject to recurrent river flooding at the end of the rainy season. The artificial opening of a breach, 7 kilometers south of the city, following the October 2003 flood, radically changed the city’s flooding.
