Hydrology and water quality edit

Tributaries of the Rance include:

  • Croqueloir
  • Clergé
  • Fremeur
  • Quinéford

This river has moderate turbidity and its brownish water is somewhat low in velocity due to the slight gradient of the watercourse; pH levels have been measured at 8.13[2] within the city of Dinan and electrical conductivity of the waters have tested at 33 micro-siemens per centimetre. At this reference location, summer flows are typically in the range of 14 cubic metres per second (500 cu ft/s).[citation needed]
