Sivens Dam, (''Barrage de Sivens''), is a dam which, as of 2014, is under construction across the River Tescou, a tributary of the River Tarn in the basin of the Garonne in Southern France. The construction site is 10 km north of Lisle-sur-Tarn, in the Department of Tarn (Midi-Pyrénées). The dam is named after the nearby ''Forest of Sivens''. Construction work began in 2014. On 26 October 2014, Rémi Fraisse, a 21-year-old student protesting against the construction project, was killed after being hit in the back by a grenade, sparking further protests, some of which were violent.〔(The Guardian, 28 October 2014, French Socialists and Greens at odds following death of Sivens dam protester, by Anne Penketh in Paris )〕 ==Description== Sivens, is in the Tescou river, a tributary of the Tarn in the basin of the Garonne. A barrage project has been initiated for the formation of a water reservoir with a volume of 1.5 million m3 used especially for irrigation of agricultural land and the control of the low water Tescou. The impact of the project lies in retaining the flooding of 12 hectares of wetland. Countervailing Measures are planning to restore a total area of 19.5 hectares. This project benefits from 30% of European founds (Fedear). The main actors of the project are the general council of Tarn region, Water Agency Adour Garonne and the development company slopes of Gascony. In 2011, a collective has been created against this project : "Tant qu’il y aura des bouilles". Hundreds of people came to the zone planned for flooding to live there and to prevent the construction of the dam. .〔(''Le Figaro'', 27 Feb 2014, Barrage/Tarn : expulsion des opposants )〕〔(''Libération'', 2 May 2014, À Sivens, un autre Dame-des-Landes )〕〔(''La Dépêche du Midi'' 31 August 2014, Semaine cruciale à Sivens pour le projet de barrage )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sivens Dam」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
