The contribution of soft institutional change to improve freshwater governance in the coastal zone will be examined. Freshwater management seeks to reduce losses due to overexploitation of the common-pool resources provided by river catchments and their associated ecosystems. Due to the complexity of the governance system, improving the performance of one coastal social-ecological system means searching for the appropriate “soft” institutional change. In the Pertuis Charentais region, increasing scarcity of freshwater in summer threatens the health of the coastal ecosystem and the sustainability of human activities, which depend on the use of natural resources. The allocation of freshwater among competing uses or concerns is a core issue for integrated... |

The transmission of several contaminants from agricultural land to the shoreline has been studied within the scope of this programme, both by general research and by field investigations. The field investigations took place in two test catchment areas (fig. 1). One of them, Coët-Dan, has been fitted out with various measuring devices since the year 1971 and has been monitored since that date. The other one, Kerharo, has never been studied until now. The research topics were distributed between these two catchment areas in the following way. At Coët-Dan, what was handled were the transfer of pesticides and bacteria of sanitary interest, the nitrogen and phosphorus supplied to the fields by farms, the transfer of these nutrients into the surface horizons and... |
