Man and River Systems II: Interactions among Rivers, their Watershed and the Social system
The purpose of this symposium is to take stock of the achievements of river
system studies undertaken at the whole watershed scale and discuss new
challenges for a better understanding and management of the complex
interactions between aquatic ecosystems and human activity in the watershed.
The major objective of the symposium is to promote interdisciplinarity
between natural and social sciences. For that purpose, the planned sessions
provide a gradient of topical issues spanning both fields.
The programme includes five plenary sessions, with accompanying poster
sessions :
1. Integration of physical, geochemical and microbial processes within
riverine ecosystems
2. Interactions between aquatic and terrestrial systems: diffuse sources and
sinks
3. Basin-scale ecological functioning: can we define a good ecological
status ?
4. Evaluation of public policies and technical tools for river basin
management
5. Challenges for the future
