The Côney is a Rivière Is France, tributary of left bank of the the Saone. Although it belongs to the Rhone-native basin, it is so close to the valley of the the Moselle that the Romans already had considered a junction canal, channel which was not born that at the 19th century within the framework of the program Freycinet.

December 30th, 2001, the dam of the lock of Fontenoy-the-Castle which controls the level between the channel of the East and the river yielded, carting hectolitres of muddy water. The commune of Corre underwent the essence of the damage.

Geography

Côney takes its source close to the locality Lion Faing , commune of Dounoux, in the department of the the Vosges on the south-eastern slope of the Monts Sickles. It sprinkles Dounoux, Uriménil and Uzemain where it joined the Canal of the East to the locality the Forging mills . Then dividing its valley with the channel, it sprinkles Fontenoy-the-Castle, penetrates in Haute-Saône and joins downstream from Corre, with the locality Under Bémont , the altitude of 222 Mr.

Its principal affluents reach him left bank: the Cone, Aître and Bagnerot, this last irrigating Bath-the-Baths.

Hydrology

The river present of the seasonal fluctuations of flow, with risings from 80 to 90 m ³ /s from January to March included, and the thin ones of summer characterized by a fall of the monthly medium flow up to 1,75 m ³ in August.

The Lame of water past in this part (most important) of the basin is of 528 millimetres annually, and the specific flow (Qsp) is assembled at 16,7 liters a second and per square kilometer of basin.

The recorded maximum instantaneous flow is of 112 m ³ a second in October 2006.

History and literature

the county of Fontenoy is separated from the round of applause of Arches by the Cosné river which takes its source with a pond known as of Cosne, close to wood to the Holly-grove. This source, by a rather extraordinary singularity has two branches: one forms the source of Cosné which will be lost in the Saone in Franche-Comté; and the other form a brook which will be thrown in the Moselle; and by the junction of various brooks which meet, one carries its water in the Mediterranean, and the other with the ocean.

  • Extracted the correspondence of Lord Hammerton with his London editor in 1884:

… but neither Egypt nor Nubie have anything of such as Côney. This charming river takes its source in the department of the Vosges to the foot of the Mounts Sickles. After having traversed 38 miles through a wooded country - which as far as we could see it was very beautiful - it is thrown in the Saone at a place resembling a table which is the expression of its own beauty… Completely ignored fame, Côney runs through its long timbered valley, makes turn its rustic mills but never its course does not approach anything which can resemble a city…
