Geography

The Nive river has a length of 79.3 kilometres (49.3 miles),[1] and a drainage basin with an area of approximately 1,030 square kilometres (398 square miles).

Its average yearly discharge (volume of water which passes through a section of the river per unit of time) is 30.00 cubic metres per second (1,059 cubic feet per second) at Cambo-les-Bains in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department.[2]


Average monthly discharge (m3/s) at Cambo-les-Bains (1967 - 2017)[2]


Course

The Nive proper is formed from three small rivers in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port:

  • The Nive de Béhérobie (main stream)
  • The Laurhibar - 28.1 kilometres (17.5 miles)[3]
  • The Nive d'Arnéguy - 20.8 kilometres (12.9 miles)[4]

The Nive passes through the towns of Estérençuby (Nive de Béhérobie), Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, Bidarray, Cambo-les-Bains, Ustaritz, Villefranque and Bayonne, where it flows into the Adour.

It joins the Adour in the city of Bayonne, on its left bank, at an altitude of 3 metres (9.8 feet) and at about 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) from the Bay of Biscay (Atlantic Ocean).
