Accompanying implementation of French ecological networks dans les territoires - n°35 | Rencontres |
The meeting, with an array of speakers, enabled researchers, elected officials, local governments, State services, developers, managers of natural areas and associations to trade thoughts on the issues, techniques and measures involved in promoting biodiversity and ecological continuity. The operational phase in network implementation has raised a number of questions.
River restoration and natural water retention measures - n°33 | Rencontres |
Natural water retention measures as well as aquatic ecosystems’ restoration and preservation provide means to achieve good water status as required by the Water Framework Directive (WFD). In order to make progress on that topic, the workshop aimed to promote a better integration of European directives and policies through river restoration and natural water retention measures.
Reinforcing coproduction and brokering of research, development and innovation results for water and aquatic environments - n°32 | Rencontres |
How can operational needs be identified in order to steer RDI (research, development, innovation) policy toward the scientific and technical developments most useful for water managers? What forms of coproduction must be implemented to ensure that the intended persons can effectively use the results? And what transfer policy should be instituted so that the results are fully exploited?
The importance of the science-policy interface for water and climate - n°30 | Rencontres |
The purpose of the event, a forerunner to the 7th World water forum and the Paris-Climat 2015 meeting (COP21), was to facilitate discussions between scientists and elected officials on the topic of water and climate change in view of jointly laying the groundwork for future improvements in the science-policy interface. These discussions are essential in order to transform scientific knowledge into actual water planning and management policy.
A national specimen bank for continental aquatic environments? - n°29 | Rencontres |
Several of the leading international experts on environmental specimen banks (ESB) met for 2 days of discussions that highlighted the value of these tools in meeting the challenges raised by pollution management and biodiversity conservation. The idea of creating an ESB for continental aquatic environments in France was floated.
Overseas territories, the WFD and bioassessment - n°28 | Rencontres |

Monitoring programmes: WFD requirements, their implementation and use of the results - n°27 | Rencontres |
The purpose of the workshop was to facilitate discussions between European river basins on monitoring of water and aquatic environments, with the European commission and the European environment agency on hand, and to enhance the common implementation strategy for the WFD. It was an occasion to discuss monitoring results and the impact of monitoring on implementation of management plans and programmes of measures in 3 main fields, namely the purposes of the monitoring programmes, stakeholder organisation and roles, and monitoring strategies.
Methods and tools to control agricultural nonpoint-source pollution for managers of water resources - n°26 | Rencontres |
Local governments are frequently confronted with the problem of managing agricultural nonpoint-source pollution. This type of pollution is one of the main causes of the degradation of water bodies in France and Europe. How can its management be improved and its impacts reduced? What are the tools and methods now available to water managers to effectively counter the pollution?
Bringing wetland research in line with operational needs - n°25 | Rencontres |
The objective of the meeting, based on an analysis of wetland research over the past 10 years, was to set guidelines for scientific policy on wetlands better suited to the needs expressed in the field. This document reports on that meeting.
