The olive tree well

Hyères

The garden shed houses one of the island's wells.

At this well, groundwater is pumped for agricultural use (market gardening and nurseries) and then stored in a 4,000m3 reservoir located near the cemetery (station 3). Following the water shortage of 2003, pumping is now limited to 60m3/day in order to preserve the resource.

A temporary stream, also known as the Garonne, runs through the middle of the island, collecting rainwater and channelling it to prevent flooding.
