Spain to Divert the Garonne If France Changes the Segre
SARAGOSSA, Spain, Aug. 16.-
Spanish experts are making a survey with a view to altering the course of the river Garonne, which rises in the Spanish Pyrenees and flows into France.
It is said that this action was motivated as a retaliatory measure against the French proposals to change the direction of the waters of the Segre, which rises in the French Pyrenees and then flows through Lerida Province, Spain. It is said here that if the course of the latter river is changed it will kill several Spanish industries.
