Ecological management of rainwater : Ecological engineering & aquatic environments

This video was produced by Astee’s working group on ecological engineering applied to aquatic environments. It presents the multiple benefits that can be derived from ecological engineering.
The multi-benefit nature of these projects is illustrated through four examples of ecological engineering actions regarding :

• river restoration and flood protection
• ecological management of rainwater
• the improvement of water quality in peri-urban areas
• the creation of habitats in harbours

In aquatic environments, ecological engineering can contribute to reconciling several objectives within a single project and thus provide several benefits. It participates in nature-based solutions that rely on healthy, resilient, functional and diversified ecosystems to respond to the effects of global change.

The ‘Association scientifique et technique pour l’eau et l’environnement’ is a French association recognized to be of public interest. It connects close to 4000 members from water and waste professional sectors. Its purpose is to seed knowledge, and share technical practices and expertise for the benefit of all. Our association is also sought out for advice and recommendations.
Since 1905, the AGHTM, renamed Astee in 2004, has adapted to the evolution of our careers and the environment, while remaining faithful to its values: respecting the diversity of professionals in the field and building consensus. Astee is at the crossroads of shared knowledge, know-how and information, meetings, and exchanges opened up to its network composed of public and private professionals.
Astee is the national governing member of European and International water and waste organizations such as IWA, ISWA and EWA.
