SOURCE OF THE FOUNTAIN OF VAUCLUSE
A source explored by Modexa, using an instrument carrier that comes to rest at a depth of 308 m, on a sandy bottom.
Where does this source come from, one of the most important in Europe with an average total flow of 630 millionm3 per year? At the end of the 19th century, underwater explorations followed one another to try to discover its secret. In 1967, Captain Cousteau sent a remotely operated device that dived to 106 meters. In 1989, the Spélénaute reached a depth of 315 m. In the subsoil, galleries and cavities collect a large part of the 900 mm of rain that falls on average each year.
