During the canal's construction, Pierre-Paul Riquet allowed streams to flow into the canal. Excess water was discharged through weirs. This system generated alluvial deposits that silted up the canal and disrupted navigation. By 1685, boats were having difficulty navigating in many places. In 1686, King Louis XIV entrusted Vauban with an inspection of the Canal du Midi (then called the Royal Canal of Languedoc). This aqueduct has three arches. At low water levels, the Orbiel River flows only under the western arch. During floods, it overflows its banks, and sometimes the three arches are no longer sufficient to maintain the flow. In the most severe floods, the structure can be completely submerged, as was the case in 2018.

The German-language television series "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity" uses short film clips to honor special sites from all eras and continents that have one thing in common: they have been declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. One of the episodes introduces the CANAL DU MIDI: "...the Romans already dreamed of a waterway between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. Powerful people and doers from Charlemagne to Francis the First failed to realize this idea, even Leonardo da Vinci tinkered with it in vain. It was not built until the end of the 17th century. The Canal du Midi is a technical masterpiece by one person, one obsessed with the idea, by Pierre Paul Riquet. ..."

"A 240.129 km long, 2.25 to 2.50 m deep waterway was declared a cultural monument as a "bridge" between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic with 328 structures such as bridges - such as the canal bridge over the Orb -, locks - such as the 7 lock cascades of Fonserrannes -, tunnels, aqueducts and 49 canals over streams and rivers." says the documentary from "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity", a television series that brings culture-loving viewers closer to world cultural heritage sites with short film contributions (in German). The episode about the CANAL DU MIDI is available in the ARD media library under this link: => https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/gcanal-du-midi-frankreich-folge-224/swr/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS82OTg2NDg2
