 The Aude river flows through the length of the commune from south to north then continues northwest at the start of its journey to the Mediterranean Sea.Many tributaries rise in the commune on both banks and flow into the Aude including the "Ruisseau d'Artigues" (which rises in Artigues), the "Ruisseeau de Seilles", and many other unnamed streams.In ancient times the Aude basin did not belong to the Sordones but to other iron producers inhabiting Atax country
