| Résumé anglais |
Since the 18th century, the talwegs of the tributaries of the middle Rhône have been modified substantially due to increased population pressure. Entrenchment observed on rivers in the southeast of France is explained by watershed afforestation, landuse changes, embanking works and gravel extraction. This situation is largely the result of the combined effects of development and management policies. The 1992 Water Law instituted an integrated approach to river management ensuring that different uses were compatible with maintaining a natural balance. However, this has not always been the case and certain actors still favour the previous pattern of development. Despite this, new management methods should allow the restoration of long profiles and of physical environment in general. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
