How much water does a bridge consume?

[Remundo]

Joke evening joke: a bridge consumes water that if it has its beachhead in the water!

But yes, a bridge may need water.


It is about 1.5 km upstream from the port of Moissac that the Canal de Garonne crosses the Tarn river, not far from its confluence with the Garonne, via the majestic Cacor canal bridge. The canal bridge, built around 1845, constitutes, by its dimensions, the purity of its lines, the harmonious use of Quercy stone and "Toulouse" brick, a major architectural element of the region and of the Voies heritage. Navigable from France. It was the Montalbanais Pierre Gausserand who built the Cacor canal bridge - 356 meters - one of the longest in France after those of Briare and Agen.
