Résumé anglais Knowledge of environments and of associated mechanisms of change has not advanced at the same rate as the technological ability to effect such transformations, as in many spheres of contemporary life. This has resulted in a number of catastrophic impacts as in the case of Aswan and the Aral Sea. Does this imply, therefore, that such interventions, which are a logical consequence of man's action and have important economic and geopolitical considerations, should be halted ? Problems of environmental management are none the less very real and the need to take them into account represents one of the elements of any integrated management strategy for major river basins.
