L'eau, l'aménagement du territoire et le développement durable

Water, town and country planning and sustainable development

Prix Nobel de Médecine, Président de l'Académie de l'eau

Abstract

Water is everywhere and therefore strongly linked to town and country planning, development and all human activities. The Academie de l'Eau has decided to establish the links between water and the other sectors in order to protect the environment and life quality. These reflections lead to some recommandations: a global, sparing, environment respectful, long-lasting management, showing solidarity. Two examples are given: the water management in the urban area along the Marne river and the case of rural zones.
