Answer 1

river of France, after the Loire its longest. It rises 18 miles (30 kilometres) northwest of Dijon and flows in a northwesterly direction through Paris before emptying into the English Channel at Le Havre. The river is 485 miles (780 kilometres) long and with its tributaries drains an area of about 30,400 square miles (78,700 square kilometres). It is one of Europe's great historic rivers, and its
Most of the river basin is formed of permeable rocks, the absorptive capacity of which mitigates the risk of river floods. Precipitation throughout the basin is modest, generally 25 to 30 inches (650 to 750 millimetres), and is evenly distributed over the year as rain, with snow infrequent except on the higher southern and eastern margins. The Yonne—unique among the tributaries.
The Seine, especially below Paris, is a great traffic highway. It links Paris with the sea and the huge maritime port of Le Havre. Rouen, although some 75 miles from the sea, was France's main seaport in the 16th century, but it was surpassed by Le Havre in the 19th century. Vessels drawing up to 10 feet (3.2 metres) can reach the quays of Paris. Most of the traffic, which chiefly consists of heavy.

Although the regime of the Seine is relatively moderate, improvements have been considered necessary since the beginning of the 19th century. To improve navigation, the water level was raised by means of dams and by storage reservoirs in the basin of the Yonne River. Lake Settons (1858), originally designed for the flotation of wood, and Crescent (1932) and Chaumeçon (1934) reservoirs.
The earliest scientific work on the Seine is Eugène Belgrand, La Seine, études hydrologiques: régime de la pluie, des sources, des eaux courantes (1872), with an accompanying Atlas (1873), which is still valuable despite its age. Development of navigation on the river is surveyed in Aimé V. Perpillou, "Un Exemple de canalisation de rivière: la Seine,” in his Géographie de la circulation: conditions générales de la navigation intérieure (1950), pp. 37–49. Jacques Gras, Le Bassin de Paris méridional (1963), examines the morphology of the Paris and Loire basins, as well as of the Loing valley and part of the Yonne basin. Useful information on the Seine basin is found in Les Bassins de la Seine et des cours d'eau Normands (1975), published by Agence Financière de Bassin Seine-Normandie. Available English-language sources include such travel books as Anthony Glyn, The Seine (1966); and William Davenport, The Seine: From Its Source, to Paris, to the Sea (1968). Evelyn Bernette Ackerman, Village on the Seine: Tradition and Change in Bonnières, 1815–1914 (1978), is a scholarly examination of history and socioeconomic conditions as influenced by the river.
