The Roue Pouguet is a historic water wheel in Ornans, France, designed by Étienne Joseph Pouguet in the 19th century. This ingenious system adapted to variations in river flow without hindering navigation or timber floating. It was a revolutionary improvement for millers and is now cherished as a rare industrial heritage
