dele (dict)

DeleDele is a river of northern France which is currently channeled for the main part of its course (from Lens to Lille ). The upstream part is still partly free-flowing and is known as the Souchez. The Souchez is formed from the union, in the village of the same name, of two brooks, Carency and Saint-Nazaire. The channeled part comprises two branches: - the high gauge canal known as High Dele which ensures the connection between the channeled Lys and the Scarpe (a tributary from Douai),
- the canal of Lens, immediately fed by the Souchez.
Immediately downstream of Lens, the channel is unusually elevated compared to the neighboring banks, as a result of mining depressions . | The creeks of Dele, Lens, the Lily, Aire | Dele does not yet profit from the Schma d'amnagement et de gestion des eaux.
