| Résumé anglais |
The aim of the present study is to demonstrate, on the basis of three recent oblique aerial photographs, that the landscape shows the marks of direct and indirect impacts due to the salt effluents produced by the soda works established in the urban area of Nancy. The Solvay and Novacarb soda works are chemical industries producing sodium carbonate from salt and limestone. They have deeply transformed the landscape in the bottom of the Meurthe Valley with the creation of multiple basins for collecting and treating both liquid and solid waste from the soda works. But the impact of these effluents goes far beyond the local context and the resulting disturbances in the drinking water supply of many communes located downstream have caused new, indirect and more extensive modifications to the landscape. The recent project aiming at enlarging the two soda works, and as a consequence of this the increased volume of effluents, have raised a polemic between the industry and the communes using the water from the Moselle River. Diverse solutions for the treatment of salt effluents, all of them involving significant landscape alterations, are now being considered. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
