| Notice : | Gully of Laloux, sight on the gully head. Natural hazard. Natural risk. Damage around the gully head. Headward retreat has been stopped by a metal construction of a step-like runoff ditch which protects the gully head against erosion by runoff delivered by the road. But gully deepening continues from the end of the staircase. Aside of the staircase, the head seems stabilized. |
