The Omois River is an ancient river. It is first mentioned in historical documents in the 2nd century BC, under the name "Amos". The river has played an important role in the history of the Paris region. It has been used for transportation, irrigation, and fishing. In the Middle Ages, the Omois was a border between the Kingdom of France and the Duchy of Burgundy. The river was the site of several battles, including the Battle of Omois in 1472, which saw the victory of the French over the Burgundians. In the 19th century, the Omois was canalized to supply the city of Paris with drinking water. The Omois Canal, which crosses five departments, was built between 1862 and 1874. The most common fish in the Omois are trout, salmon, perch, pike, and carp. The river also supports more rare species, such as the lamprey and the eel. The most common birds in the Omois are ducks, herons, storks, and coots. The river also supports more rare species, such as the kingfisher and the grey heron.
