The project in brief

Since 2019, the Seine-Normandy Water Agency and OiEau have been providing technical and institutional support to the DGPRE for the implementation of IWRM through a pilot experiment in the Somone Management and Planning Sub-Unit. This phase 2 continues this work on the governance, planning and information system components, and adds support for scaling up and good articulation between local and national IWRM policies.

  • Support the valorisation and dissemination of knowledge on water resources,
