Description

This teaching, through the intervention of professionals, gives students a vision of the professions and actors of water and aquatic environments in France.

The teaching corresponds to 4 sequences with speakers from local authorities, private engineering firms and government departments.

Sequence 1: Overview of the "Large Cycle" professions: Management and protection of rivers, flood prevention and "Small Cycle": Drinking water, sanitation, rainwater. This sequence defines the professions and evokes their evolution

Sequence 2 : Presentation of the public contracting (specifications, regulations, public markets), of the project management (studies answering to the public order, groupings) and of the execution (realization and follow-up of the works)

Sequence 3 : Regulatory files, monitoring of works by the water police : Checking the conformity of development projects, repression

Sequence 4: Jobs related to the management of aquatic environments: environmental contract (management and realization of management projects) and SAGE (local water planning, monitoring, observatory, data management, popularization, relation to science).

Through these sequences, the speakers present their job and the relations with the other actors of the water management.
