Canal de Briare receives water from the Etang.

Étang de la Gazonne, (Template:Lang-en), is a 29-hectare (72-acre) lake[1] that provides water for the workings of the Canal de Briare.[2]

Hugues Cosnier, designer of the canal, planned a 3.25-mile-long (5 km) waterway from the River Trezée to the Gazonne. The Gazonne acted as a reservoir.[2]
