Talk:Garonne

message: The source co-ordinates shown in the infobox are wrong: at its nearest to the place marked the river is broad and well established, running alongside the Lleida–Vielha road. I propose to add the westernmost co-ordinates, at the foot of the Pic Aneto, to the infobox. --Old Moonraker (talk) 13:47, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Source co-ordinates 

message: Please, have a look at this application: http://www.icc.cat/vissir2/
And at this one: http://www.ign.es/iberpix/visoriberpix/visorign.html
According to it, please take note of this facts:
*The source "Aigualluts" (Trou de Toro? no such name in Spain, nor Spanish, Aranese, or Catalan for that place) is at 2.000 m.a.s.l., and the indicated source (Salterillo-Barrancs  ravine) is at 2.300 m.a.s.l. The junction Joéu-Garona is at 800 masl.
*The Ruda-Garona river source, at Ratera-Saboredo cirque is at 2.600 m.a.s.l. (). The Ruda-Garona junction is at 1.270 masl.
*Furthermore, The Ruda-Garona runs for some 12 km before joining the “Garona de Beret” stream. The Ruda Valley is the natural head of Arán (Garonne) Valley.
*The Joèu (from Aigualluts to Las Bordas) runs for 11 km.
*Furthermore, the Joèu provides 2,16 m3/s. of water to the Garonne, wich before joining the Joèu carries 17.7 m3/s. (http://oph.chebro.es/DOCUMENTACION/HidrogeologiaPirineos/3.2.ACUIFEROS.htm & ftp://oph.chebro.es:2121/BulkDATA/DOCUMENTACION/DirectivaMarco/Garona/DocumPrevia%202008.pdf).
*Further more: possible sources, higher than Aigualluts:  Estanhots de Horno, (), source of Nere river.
Lac deth Tuc de Podo, Colomers Cirque (), source of Aiguamog river.
Why so should be Aigualluts considered the Garonne source?
Please, will you have a look at this and correct the article?
My contribution to the article with this info has being delete without an apparent or reasoned reason. Why?
Regards.
:I don't expect my recent addition of a quote from Lambert's book to be the last word, and other points of view from other reliable sources would be welcome. I wouldn't, however, want to see any original research, such as the calculations above. --Old Moonraker (talk) 12:04, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the response. As the WP policy indicates, we're looking for verifiability, not truth. The three sources I have used for verification are limited to those in French and English, (plus some Catalan, as it's not too difficult for someone with a bit of French) because that's all I can read. It's obviously tricky to arrive at a definitive answer about the length of a river when it's partly underground, so if other reliable sources in Spanish contradict Professor Lambert, lets have them! --Old Moonraker (talk) 14:22, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  About the source 

message: Reckon a lot of folk do not know this so added the word: Spain to the following sentence which weirdly lacked it: "The Garonne's headwaters are to be found in the Aran Valley in the Spanish Pyrenees"  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.69.58.27 (talk) 04:07, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
