Wednesday 28 June

The "Quantitative management, dams and uses" day will provide an opportunity to learn about the history of development in the Ain valley, the technical aspects of the chain of dams (including a visit to one of the Ain dams) and their use for energy production, the impacts of hydraulic infrastructures and their management methods, and finally the different perceptions of aquatic environments transformed by dams (approached through a short practical project). The day will also enable participants to familiarise themselves with the methods used by the social sciences to understand the relationships between societies and an alluvial river that is subject to multiple and sometimes contradictory uses
