CONT

Les revers d'eau. Larges rigoles, plus ou moins profondes, jamais trop pour permettre le passage d'un véhicule dans le sens transversal, ils sont construits : en pavés, en dalles, en briques, et sont posés sur mortier, ou sont coulés sur place en béton, [...] Évidemment, la profondeur de la forme qui reçoit les matériaux dépend de la charge qu'il est prévu de faire supporter au passage d'un revers d'eau.
