Organisation of the complementary skills of consultancies for GEMAPI's interdisciplinary needs

Abstract

The implementation of GEMAPI (French acronym for the law on "management of aquatic environments and flood prevention") requires an interdisciplinary approach of river management projects. Skills in hydrobiology, hydroecology and hydraulics are required to design a project. But more often than not, they are not sufficient because the anthropisation of environments also requires that human infrastructures be taken into account. Consultancies must now offer GEMAPI's project managers a new organization based on teams with multiple skills and partnerships.
