Pierre Paul Riquet ( 1604 – 1680 ) planned and constructed the Canal du Midi under Colbert's patronage.

The Canal du Midi was built by Pierre-Paul Riquet.

In 1662, Pierre-Paul Riquet, a rich tax-farmer in the Languedoc region, who knew the region intimately, believed he could solve the problem, but he first had to persuade Jean-Baptiste Colbert, the finance minister of Louis XIV, which he did through his friendship with the Archbishop of Toulouse.

The specifications for the work were drawn up by the head of this commission and France's leading military engineer in that period, the Chevalier de Clerville, who remained a loyal ally of Riquet and partisan of the Canal du Midi until his death.

At the age of 63, Riquet started his great enterprise, sending his personal engineer, François Andreossy, and a local water expert, Pierre Roux, to the Montagne Noire to work on the water supply.

It eventually cost over 15 million livres, of which nearly two million came from Riquet himself, leaving him with huge debts, and he died in 1680, just months before the Canal was opened.

Paul Riquet was born in Béziers, Hérault, France.

As a youth, Riquet was only interested in mathematics and science.

Riquet became wealthy and was given permission by the King to levy his own taxes.

Planning, financing, and construction of the Canal du Midi completely absorbed Riquet from 1665 forward.

It was named after French engineer Pierre-Paul Riquet ( born Béziers, 1609 ; died Toulouse, 1680 ), who conceived and carried out the construction of the Canal du Midi from 1666.

By this standard, it is determined that where two stations operating on the same frequency are involved, objectionable interference from station A exists at any point within the service area of station B where station A's signal is of an intensity one-twentieth or more of the strength of station B's signal at that point.

Therefore, under our longstanding allocation rules, on some of these channels no station other than the dominant ( class 1 ) -- A ) station is permitted to operate at night, so that the 1, -- A station can render service, interference free, wherever it can be received.
