August 08, 2013 - FRANCE - Sad discovery as made by a fisherman, Saturday. Hundreds of dead fish floated in the Auzon, in the commune of Mormoiron. Against this sinister, and a very probable pollution of the rivers, the municipality, the services of the departmental Directorate of the territory, the AERs, the fishermen's federation of Vaucluse, the Union of the Mont Ventoux and the water police, went on the spot yesterday morning.
The observation is disastrous. "Completed four electric fisheries to make an inventory of fish. At the height of the bridge of the D77, we saw only three specimens and found more than 200 deaths on only two kilometers, or one every 10 meters. This is really alarming!" concerned technician of the federation. "The Auzon was one of the last rivers where the reproduction and the balance of species were naturally. "It will take a decade before it returned to its State of origin '.
Large-scale pollution
Of course, everyone wondered about the source of this pollution. According to the federation of fishing, it would appear that the death of species is due to a lack of oxygen. Several hypotheses are being considered: malfunction of the plant located upstream, evoked by the prefecture and the fishermen. It would have been caused by large storms of the last week, resulting in a stronger rejection of wastewater in the rivers, by the station.
However, this hypothesis has categorically denied by the AERs and the Mayor, Gérard Krishna who argue that surveys have been conducted. Another possibility: a rejection of chlorine by a pool, that refutes the federation, or even agricultural wild rejection. In all cases, an investigation was opened by the national agency of water and aquatic environments and fishermen of the Department have decided to be a civil party. What is certain is that this is the first time that the Auzon is affected by pollution of such magnitude. - LaProvence. [Translated]
