History
In modern history, crossing of the Aure is noted in the advances of units of infantry of the United States as they undertook liberation of France from Germany in June, 1944.[2] The river leads to a small mill that formerely was used to make cotton.[citation needed]
Hydrology and water quality
The Aure river has relatively high turbidity and its brownish water is moderate in velocity due to the slight gradient of the watercourse, although the narrow channel in locations like Bayeux centre engenders higher surface velocities; pH levels have been measured at 8.35 in the centre of Bayeux near the Bayeux Tapestry Museum[3] and electrical conductivity of the waters have tested at 37 micro-siemens per centimetre. Turbidity has been measured at 13 centimetres by the Secchi disc method. At this reference location of Bayeux, summer flows are typically in the range of 50 cubic feet per second (1.4 m3/s).[citation needed]

[de] Aure (Vire)
Die Aure ist ein Fluss in Frankreich, der im Département Calvados in der Region Normandie verläuft. Sie entspringt östlich von Caumont-l’Éventé, entwässert die Landschaft des Bessin anfangs in nördlicher Richtung, dreht dann in Richtung West und mündet nach 82 Kilometern[2] etwa einen Kilometer unterhalb von Isigny-sur-Mer als rechter Nebenfluss in die Vire. Der Mündungsabschnitt ist kanalisiert, daher können Schiffe bis zum Hafen von Isigny-sur-Mer hochfahren. Der Unterlauf liegt im Regionalen Naturpark Marais du Cotentin et du Bessin.- [en] Aure (river)
