Hydrology

In the Forêt d'Orient Regional Nature Park, two lakes have been artificially created, which serve as a retention basin for the Aube, prevent Paris from being flooded when the water flow is strong , and compensate for the maintenance of shipping when the water flow is low . They are connected to the river by inlet and outlet channels. They are:

Lac d'Auzon-Temple (surface: 20 km², volume: 148 million m³, commissioning: 1990)
Lac Amance (surface: 5 km², volume: 22 million m³, commissioning: 1990)
