Résumé anglais During the 19th and 20th centuries, engineering works have modified the functioning of the river Rhône giving priority to navigation, hydroelectric power production, irrigation, urban and industrial wastewater collection. Today, the river's management needs to take account of society's demand for the development of environmental quality standards and the protection of natural ecosystems. As a result, an action plan has been implemented to restore aquatic communities through improvements to the river, especially in by-pass river sections, aquatic floodplain habitats and floodplain forests, and through the restoration of migration routes for long-distance migrating fish. Examples are given of operations which are underway : methodological developments, pilot operations to restore by-pass sections and the restoration of migration routes and reproduction areas for the migrating fish (Alosa fallax, twaite shad). Study of the technical aspects is completed by emphasizing the role of local partners in the realisation of projects.
