Abstract

The limits and problems caused by an approach that is too sectorial are now clearly identified. Global management is an unavoidable change and must be based on:

- a pluridisciplinary approach to the river concerning both the physical and ecosystem workings as well as social and economic aspects linked to the environment;

- an adapted, motivated, and competent institutional relay to provide consultation with partners on the ground and development of the concept of integrated management.
