FRANCE. HAUTES-ALPES (05) AERIAL VIEW (VUE AERIENNE) OF LAC DE SERRE-PONCON. THE RECORD LOW LEVEL REACHED BY THE LAKE WAS MEASURED ON 15 APRIL 2018 (NGF 732). THIS RESERVOIR IS THE RESULT OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE SERRE-PONCON DAM ON THE DURANCE RIVER IN 1959, JUST UNDER TWO KILOMETRES DOWNSTREAM OF ITS CONFLUENCE WITH THE UBAYE. THE CREATION OF THIS BODY OF WATER NECESSITATED THE RELOCATION OF MORE THAN A THOUSAND INHABITANTS, AS WELL AS THE DESTRUCTION OF MORE THAN 400 BUILDINGS AND TWO SUBMERGED VILLAGES.
