Property:Has condition water

This is a string describing the water flow in the canyon based on an absolute scale of risk and potential consequences. The allowed values for this property are:

• 0 - Dry (class A = a1) : Completely dry or all pools avoidable
• 1 - Very Low (class B = a2) : No current or just a trickle, may require shallow wading
• 2 - Deep pools (class B+ = a2+) : No current or just a trickle, may require swimming
• 3 - Low (class B/C = a3) : Light current, more than just a trickle but still weak
• 4 - Moderate Low (class C1- = a4-) : A bit low, still fun but not very challenging
• 5 - Moderate (class C1 = a4) : Moderate current, challenging but easy water hazards
• 6 - Moderate High (class C1+ = a4+) : A bit high, quite challenging but not too dangerous
• 7 - High (class C2 = a5) : High water, only for experienced swift water canyoneers
• 8 - Very High (class C3 = a6) : Dangerously high water, only for expert swift water canyoneers
• 9 - Extreme (class C4 = a7) : Extremely dangerous high water, may be unsafe even for experts

For more information on water ratings see the ACA Water ratings or French Aquatic rating pages.

Other values used in the past that are valid but obsolete

• a4- - C1- - Moderate Low flow : A bit low, still fun but not very challenging
• a4+ - C1+ - Moderate High flow : A bit high, quite challenging but not too dangerous

This is a string describing the water flow in the canyon. The allowed values for this property are:

• A - Dry : Completely dry or all pools avoidable
• B - Wading : Not flowing but requires wading in pools of water
• B - Swimming : Not flowing but requires deep wading or swimming
• C0 - Very Low flow : Water flow should not represent any danger
• C½ - Low flow : Not as fun, but should be safe even for beginners
• C1 - Moderate Low flow : A bit low, still fun but not very challenging
• C1 - Moderate flow : Challenging but not dangerous for intermediate canyoneers
• C1 - Moderate High flow : A bit high, quite challenging but not too dangerous
• C2 - High flow : High water, only for experienced swift water canyoneers
• C3 - Very High flow : Dangerously high water, only for expert swift water canyoneers
• C4 - Extreme flow : Extremely dangerous high water, may be unsafe even for experts
