The name Ousse is a common river name, probably derived from a former Ourse, that applies to many other rivers, as a tributary of the Gers.
The river left its name to the riverside commune Ousse.
Geographyedit
The Ousse rises in Bartrès, a few kilometres north of Lourdes, at an elevation of 492 metres (1,614 ft) above sea level.
It drains an old dry valley left by the Gave de Pau after the final installation of the moraine of Lourdes, during the Riss glaciation. During the previous Mindel glaciation, the Gave flowed through Pont-Long, an older dry valley on the north of the Ousse. The Ousse valley is separated from the Gave by littoral deposits dating from Ypresian to Miocene.
The Ousse meanders in its valley which has a very low slope. The drainage is improved by many ditches. Breeding is the main activity.
