Background

All regional and urban development projects lie within an environment which needs protecting. Taken from a point upstream, its characteristics can help to develop a project rather than appear as constraints.
In particular, this is the case with rain and surface water which can appear as a source of risk (rise in water levels and flooding), a constraint (retention volume to implement), but also a resource (rainwater capture), or even a benefit (landscape integration).
Expertise in natural phenomena and how waterways operate is part of the solution and can lead to the setting up of Flood risk prevention plans (PPRI).
