User:Tucoxn/Suzon

The Suzon is a 40.8 km river in Côte-d'Or in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, eastern France. It is a tributary of the Ouche, and a sub-tributary of the Rhône, by the Saône.

The river runs underground for about 4 km, as it traverses the city of Dijon.

Geography
The source of the Suzon river is located at Merle Fountain, between the communes of Panges and Trouhaut, in France's Côte-d'Or department. Within the Val-Suzon Natural Reserve, the Suzon receives the waters of the Ru Blanc, a small stream that's only 1.7 km long.

When the river still flowed above-ground through Dijon, it passed by the Clairvaux Cellar and north-south, along the east wall of the ancient Roman Castrum, at the heart of city.

Average flow rate
The bed of the Suzon river becomes completely dry during the summer months.

Numerous studies have taken samples of the small crustacean Gammarus pulex in the Suzon and its tributary springs.
