=== Hydrography === {{Unreferenced section|date=December 2023}} The city, located at an average altitude of {{convert|200|m}}, is crossed by the [[Gave de Pau]], where a ford gave passage to the Pyrenees. ''Gave'' is the name given to a torrent in the Pyrenees. The Gave de Pau, which becomes a torrent when mountain snow melts, takes its source in the [[Cirque de Gavarnie]] and is the main tributary of the [[Adour]], into which it empties after {{convert|175|km}}. The crossing was used for pasturage for sheep in the high meadows. The old route is now a hiking path, [[GR 65]], that runs {{convert|60|km|0|abbr=on}} south to the border. The lands of the commune are also watered by the [[Luy de Béarn]], a tributary the [[Luy]], and by its tributaries, the [[Aïgue Longue]] and the [[Uzan (river)|Uzan]], as well as the Soust, the Herrère, the [[Ousse (river)|Ousse]] and the Ousse des Bois, tributaries of the Gave de Pau. The Aygue Longue is in turn joined the territory of Pau by the Bruscos and the Lata streams, just as the Ousse is joined by the Merdé stream. The Lau Creek that feeds the Canal du Moulin, meanwhile is also present in the municipality.
