Ecohydrology—seeking consensus on interpretation of the notion / Ecohydrologie—à la recherche d'un consensus sur l'interprétation de la notion

Pages 799-804 | Published online: 29 Dec 2009
 

Abstract

There has been no ubiquitously and unanimously accepted definition of the term ecohydrology (hydro-ecology). The present contribution aims to stir discussion, which may lead to getting closer to a consensus on the interpretation of the notion. A robust finding, holding across a range of existing definitions, is that the dynamically developing area of ecohydrology holds potential to be a very important tool serving sustainable development and management of water resources.

Résumé

II n'existe pas de définition ubiquiste et unanime du terme écohydrologie (hydro-écologie). Cette contribution a pour but de stimuler un débat, afin de tender vers un consensus sur l'interprétation de cette notion. Il apparaît fermement, à travers un ensemble de définitions existantes, que le domaine en plein développement de l'écohydrologie peut devenir un outil très important au service du développement durable et de la gestion des ressources en eau.
