As one officer of the Coldstream Guards wrote, "Thus ended the campaign of 1813, commenced on the Douro and concluded on the Adour." It was the crossing of that river which would mark the resumption of Wellington's operations in 1814.

 Wetlands - Volume 23, Number 1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Aquifer recharge has been studied in a section of the floodplain of the River Adour, between Saubusse and Le Vimport, one of the major wetland areas in southwest France.
The input volume from stream overflow, surface runoff, rainfall, and input from a small stream in the floodplain was estimated to be 6.9 x 106 m3 (of which 5.6 x 106 m3 is retained on the surface).
A mechanism is suggested that involves the mixing of water of low nitrate content and conductivity from small streams and the sub-surface within the floodplain, with water containing elevated levels of dissolved nitrate and high conductivity from the River Adour.

The southern Landes is dominated by sand and the river Adour.
The fortunes of the various ports changed with the river, to the irritation of those it deserted, and finally in 1569 Charles IX decided that its course should be fixed, and that it should flow to Bayonne, where the port was rapidly filling up with sand.
At this time the Landes was a desolate area, of shifting sand dunes and huge marshes where water drained away very slowly and shepherds walked around on stilts to keep their feet dry - a custom remembered today in various folk dances.

 Functional Significance of Species Composition in Riparian Plant Communities   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
This paper analyzes the spatial patterns of plant species richness observed in 1989 and in 1999 alongside the Adour River (Southwest France), focussing on: (1) upstream-to-downstream changes, (2) mid-term changes, and (3) differences in observed patterns among various plant functional groups.
The longitudinal distribution of native and exotic ruderal species were correlated together, but they were not correlated with the total species richness.
Converse to observations at the local scale in other studies, these patterns seem to be driven more by factors co-varying with the size of the river and by climatic factors than by hydrological disturbance-related factors.
