Résumé anglais Public spatial intervention of a participative nature has a growing importance in areas such as water resources, where its aim is to compensate shortcomings in traditional forms of political control and to introduce forms of management based on the principle of cooperation. The Water Resources Development and Management Plans (SAGE - Schéma d'aménagement et de gestion des eaux) created by the Water Resources Law of 1992, represent a highy developed institutional form of this type of public policy. They offer both a durable participative framework involving several actors at the scale of a water basin and a specific form of intervention (participative planning). The present aim is to examine under what conditions this procedure can contribute to the creation of a new form of water reources management. First, this form of spatial participative intervention is described as well as the main issues. Then, the introduction of such an approach is analysed, notably through the study of the relevant official texts and an empirical study of 12 different situations. In particular, the article shows the importance of managerial and political dimensions in the creation of Local Water Resources Commissions and of Water Resources Development and Management Plans.
