Nied

The Nied is a Rivière with weak slope of the Rhenish basin, sliding ring of France in Germany, affluent left of the the Saar.

The low Nied is born with Cop-Northen, in the department of the the Moselle, the confluence of the German Nied and of the Nied Frenchwoman . The denomination of both Nied reveals the linguistic Frontière native of the Moselle region (between the Francique native of the Moselle region and the Lorraine dialect).

Nied German

The Eastern source of Nied is at Seingbouse and Guenviller in the east of Saint-Avold where it is resulting from several small brooks collecting surface waters of primarily forest slopes. Of a length of 57 km, Nied German has a catchment area of 367 km ² and a module of more or less 3,7 m ³ with the confluence. It receives the emissary of the pond of Bischwald.

Nied Frenchwoman

The Western source of Nied is at Marthille in the west of Morhange. Of a length of 59 km, Nied Frenchwoman have a catchment area of 504 km ² and a module of 3,82 m ³ with the confluence. Its principal affluent is Rotte. Rotte is a small river which joined Nied with Han/on/Nied.

Low Nied

After the confluence, the layout of the river obliques towards the North-East; it circumvents the depression of Warndt, sprinkles Bouzonville and is thrown in the Saar, in Rehlingen, downstream from Sarrelouis. Nied joined together runs on 55 km including 16 in Germany. At the border, its catchment area is of 1 340 km ² and its module of 12,8 m ³. In Germany, on the level of its confluence with the the Saar, the flow of Nied is worth 13 m ³ a second and its area catchment 1 370 km ². The Lame of past water of its basin is of 299 millimetres and its specific Débit (also called Qsp) is assembled thus to 9,48 liters a second and per km ² of basin.
