An AEP monitoring station in the town of Ersa, at an altitude of 100 metres (330 ft) and a catchment area of 4.9 square kilometres (1.9 sq mi), studied its hydrology from 1979 to 1999. The average flow was 0.032 cubic metres per second (1.1 cu ft/s).

The rainfall in this part of the river's catchment area is 205 millimetres (8.1 in) per year, which is a third less than French average of 300 millimetres (12 in) per year. The specific flow rate (Qsp) reaches 6.5 liters per second / per square kilometer of basin.
