Here is a report about the conditions in the Ardeche in August//September 2017 Blue algae in the Ardeche causes dog deaths.

You may need to use Google translate to read it in English.

I must admit that the last time we swam in the Ardeche in 2015 we were asked to stay out of the water by the lifeguard, because of 'pollutants in the water caused by high levels of run off fertiiser'. It shows how vigilant we need to be about things like this.

However, just up river in the Chassezac, we were swimming in the river daily until the 9th September, with no untoward effects at all.
