Defining a Water Policy French River Basin Agencies Reach a New Step with a New 6 Years Implementation Programm
The Rhone-Mediterranean and Corsica River Basin Agency involves the water stakeholders in its catchment area within the framework of a multiannual Intervention Programme. The 9th Programme covers the period running from 2007 to 2012 and entails: environmental results-oriented objectives consistent with national or European requirements; an actions policy aimed at fighting pollution, conserving and managing water resources, promoting the knowledge and concerted management of aquatic ecosystems, this in harmony with the environmental objectives; considerable financial resources: 3 billion Euros over 6 years earmarked for this actions policy, to be allocated in the form of financial aid to the projects, but which are generated by charges (polluter-pays principle). Not only does the Article describe in detail the contents of the 9th Programme, but also the way in which the river basin authorities have developed it, through successive adjustments between the environmental expectations, the cost of the actions planned, the territorial priorities, as well as the capacity to contribute shown by the water stakeholders, municipalities, entrepreneurs and farmers.
