Résumé anglais The canalisation of the lower Durance by dykes, which began as early as the XIIIth century, has been reinforced by hydro-electric works undertaken in the 1960s, which completely changed the river hydrosystem. From a braided river in a broad bed up to 900 m in width, the Durance has been transformed into a single channel river with a narrow, stable and almost linear bed. The river's spatial organization, which was integrated into local society, has become more longitudinal and compartmentalized in character, leading to an erosion of its social and ecological cohesion.
