Venue: Domaine de Chérioux, Vitry sur Seine, France

Summary:
The thematic guideline of the seminar, ‘Urban waters: resource or risk,’ emphasizes the necessity of integration of human activity in the natural environment to make possible the sustainable development of urban space. In order to structure the general discussion, young scientists identify key factors and their interactions and analyze the risks of degradation of water resources. Knowledge of the hydrological phenomena and their modelling is necessary to carry out this exercise, combined with the analysis of water uses and social demand.
