The capacity, however, of the reservoirs which would be of value in reducing the height of floods, and could be con- structed in the upper valley of the Garonne, would amount to only one-sixth of that required for protecting Toulouse. The investiga- tions led to similar conclusio

"The distribution of rain and advantages of situation would oblige the reservoirs to be placed as much as possible in the hilly portion of the basins, where, however, owing to the declivity, the reservoirs would be smaller, and would be liable to be rapidly filled up with detritus.
It might also sometimes happen that a flood would be produced by a heavy rainfall in the lower part of a river valley, as was the case in the great flood of the Garonne in 18Y5, and then the reservoirs in the hills would be useless.
