Résumé anglais Today, water resources are both of fundamental importance and under threat. Rivers are increasingly perceived as essential landscape and heritage features. Economic necessity, social demand and ecological imperatives render essential the careful management of water systems. Such recognition has been accompanied by regulatory measures at a national and European level. Faced with new regional planning and development problems, landscape specialists are increasingly in demand, especially in urban and urban fringe areas. This article explains the importance, in this field, of working to objectives, of basing subsequent landscape proposals and actions on these objectives and of using an appropriate scale of working, taking account of a certain number of methodological constraints and principles. It shows the role of the practicing landscape planner who now intervenes as a key actor in questions of river management. The conception of a landscape study, viewed from the outset as a means of mediation, can provoke a territorial process, creating awareness amongst all the actors around a comprehensive and well- conceived project, as well as preparing the introduction of a landscape charter.
