This book aims to stimulate new thinking on the roles of river
contracts in the protection and management of hydrographic
resources and ecosystems and in the sustainable development of
dependent territories and communities. Up-to-date information is
provided on a range of topics relating to river contracts,
including their relevance to implementation of the EU Water
Framework Directive on integrated river basin management. The
importance of river contracts for innovation in territorial
planning and governance is explored with the aid of comparative
analysis between France and Italy that encompasses water management
policies, legislative frameworks, contents and procedures, and
stakeholder rules and participation. This analysis is supported by
enlightening case studies in urbanized and rural contexts within
the two countries. The book will be of high interest for all who
wish to understand the potential of river contracts to create
innovative forums for dialogue and knowledge sharing between
public/private stakeholders and local communities and to prompt a
new form of governance of river ecosystems and territories that is
compliant with the subsidiarity principle.
