The roubine

Roubine is a local term used to refer to an artificial water supply or drain channel, often connected to a pumping station. The roubines and the plants that border them form important biological corridors that house heritage species (the European Pond Turtle or the Butterfly Diana that can be seen in the spring). Roubines can be colonized by invasive species such as the Jussie, coming from America and the summer yellow flowering.
