Abstract: During 78 days of current measurements in Lake Geneva (Summer 1985) 16 major events (v > 30 cm/s) of river-water-induced underflows were recorded in the subaqueous canyon of the Rhone delta. Detachment of instrument array from their anchors is attributed to avalanche-t ype turbidity currents due to slope failures of deltaic deposits.
