🚢 Provence Canal

The Canal de Provence is a system of canals that primarily carry raw water from the Verdon to across 110 communes in the Bouches-du-Rhône and Var departments. This network serves mainly the major cities of Aix-en-Provence, Marseille, and Toulon, with a total population of more than 2 million people. This canal system allows for irrigation of about 70,000 hectares of agricultural land, while also supplying water to more than 8,000 industrial sites across the region.
