PRESENTATION

This memory stick was conceived for IS.Rivers 2012,1st international conference on Integrative Sciences and sustainable development of rivers that was held in Lyon - France, from 26th to 28th June, 2012. It is the electronic version of the proceedings of the conference.

Content

In 2012, almost 170 communications were presented : 100 oral communications and 70 posters. They are representative of the research and innovative operations conducted internationally (around 30 countries were represented).

We would like to express our sincere gratitude for the contribution of all the authors, reviewers and members of the scientific committee. Thanks to them, we managed to build up this basis of knowledge.

The papers are available by author, or by session via the table of contents.

We hope that this organization of the information will make it as easy as possible for everyone to access the information needed, to identify the key-persons at an international level, able to answer your research of information or request of collaboration.

Languages

The papers are written in French and/or in English. The menus of the memory stick are in both languages. Through this English version, you will have access to all the communications, including the ones written in French. Please note that an abstract in both languages is present on the first page of each communication.

Reading

Acrobat Reader software has to be installed to read the communications, that are in pdf format. To download Acrobat Reader for free: http://www.adobe.com


The IS.Rivers conference

IS.Rivers is an international conference organized by the GRAIE and ZABR and focuses on research and actions in the service of rivers.

This first edition was held from June 26 to 28, 2012 at the Lyon 2 University, prestigious and listed site located at the edges of the Rhone river.

The IS.Rivers international conference focuses on the sustainable management of the world’s rivers, especially European ones. It concentrates on the state of art management strategies and lessons learned from individual case studies. Particular consideration was given to the integration of physical, ecological and social perspectives of the different stakeholders involved in river management (governance, economy, culture), which is reflected in the title of the conference (“Integrative Sciences for rivers”).

For this event, the combination of ZABR and GRAIE allowed to lean on:

 the scientific network of ZABR, nationally and internationally recognized for its quality and its enhancement activities implemented with the GRAIE

 the GRAIE who organized seven editions of "Novatech" and has demonstrated all seriousness, rigor and dynamism in the organization of international conferences (the last edition was attended by 700 participants over 4 days).

The ambition of the organizers was to promote exchanges between scientists on the one hand, and river managers and stakeholders on the other hand.

Organizers and partners

Organizers

ZABRThe Rhone Basin Long Term Environment Research (a scientific label of the CNRS) comprises Observatory and / or Experimental Sites. It is the support of research programs that provide elements of knowledge to stakeholders and to public decision-makers, in the field of sustainable management of rivers and watersheds. It aims to provide decision makers with a methodology to evaluate the effects of watershed rehabilitation or restoration on river hydrosystems, in terms of biodiversity, sustainability (lasting effects), ecological services and potential uses.

GRAIEThe Rhone-Alps Group of Research on the Infrastructures and Water is a non-profit organization created in 1985. Its aim is to contribute to the co-ordination of supply and demand of research in the field of urban water management. Its scope of activities includes the organization of interdisciplinary working groups with partners and scientists of complementary qualifications, and the synthesis and dissemination of knowledge in this field. The organization of the Novatech and IS.Rivers conferences is an example of such activities.
