Ministère de l'Agriculture et de la Pêche, chef du bureau de l'eau

Abstract

Agricultural practices affect directly groundwater resources with nitrates and pesticides. Somes experiments aiming to reduce these products are implemented in a few areas. The French governement is engaged in an assessment of the relevant public polices. This issue is facing complex stakes. No sustainable polutions will be found without the acceptance that each of us has to bear a part of responsibility.
