| Résumé anglais |
After the reconstitution of the 18th century fluvial pattern, when Man experienced a limited direct control upon the river dynamics, this study shows the successive alterations of the Arve-Giffre confluence : the plan and long profile succession is surveyed and shows an acceleration of the stream degradation processes, mainly since 1950. A cartographic statement of the present fluvial dynamics is carried out. The human interventions on the tributary and the Arve River (embankment, dragging...) appears to be the main factor which explains the strong physionomical and functional alteration of the confluence. Some watershed perturbations and their incidence upon the fluvial dynamics are proposed. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
