Dear colleagues,<\/p>\n

I am pleased to announce the following publication:<\/p>\n

This volume presents an analysis of the ways in which hydraulic developments have both generated major environmental disturbances and contributed to the development of risk prevention policies from the late nineteenth century to the present day. While centered on the concepts and methods of environmental history, the collection includes a contribution from the science of hydrology. Both the availability and the quality of water are at the heart of the questions raised in different environmental, political and social contexts. Examples from the United States are presented in the foreword by Marie Bolton focusing on California and in two articles, one on California (Glen Gendzel) and the other on New York State (Roy Carpenter). The role of the United States in constructing massive water management systems that have led to what some call the \u201chydraulic trap\u201d is in contrast to the increased environmental awareness expressed in court cases such as the landmark Scenic Hudson v. Federal Power Commission<\/em> (1965) or the passage of environmental protection legislation. Other examples are analyzed from around the world, providing a comparative approach: pollution resulting from the operation of the Ashio mine in Japan between the end of the nineteenth century and the 1960s (Cyrian Pitteloud); implementation of a systematic water management policy at the watershed level in France dating from 1964 (St\u00e9phane Frioux); and, problems stemming from wastewater management in the Soviet Union from the 1960s and 1980s (Laurent Coumel). Efforts both to improve water quality protection and reduce hydrological risk were at the heart of new environmental policies developed during the 1960s and 1970s that, as the articles in this volume examine, led not only to challenges to change but occasional failures. The hydrological analysis of the Cauvery River watershed located in the southeastern Indian peninsula (Nils-Otto Kitter\u00f8d) opens up current perspectives on social issues created by the exploitation of water resources and technical solutions proposed in a context of strong demographic pressure and climate change.<\/p>\n

Tout en \u00e9tant centr\u00e9 sur les concepts et les m\u00e9thodes de l’histoire environnementale, ce volume comprend une contribution de la science hydrologique. Il propose une analyse pluridisciplinaire de la mani\u00e8re dont les am\u00e9nagements hydrauliques ont \u00e0 la fois g\u00e9n\u00e9r\u00e9 des perturbations environnementales majeures et contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 l’\u00e9laboration de politiques de pr\u00e9vention des risques de la fin du xixe si\u00e8cle \u00e0 nos jours. Disponibilit\u00e9 et qualit\u00e9 de l\u2019eau sont au c\u0153ur des interrogations men\u00e9es dans diff\u00e9rents contextes \u00e9cologiques, politiques et sociaux. Des exemples provenant des \u00c9tats-Unis sont pr\u00e9sent\u00e9s dans l’avant-propos de Marie Bolton portant sur la Californie et dans deux articles, l’un sur la Californie (Glen Gendzel) et l’autre sur l’\u00c9tat de New York (Roy Carpenter). Le r\u00f4le des \u00c9tats-Unis dans la construction de syst\u00e8mes massifs de gestion de l’eau a conduit \u00e0 ce que certains appellent le \u00ab pi\u00e8ge hydraulique \u00bb. Ce dernier est toutefois contrebalanc\u00e9 par la sensibilisation accrue \u00e0 l’environnement qui a conduit \u00e0 l’\u00e9tablissement de lois et d\u2019une jurisprudence protectrice, comme dans la d\u00e9cision de la cour de justice f\u00e9d\u00e9rale de Scenic Hudson <\/em>en 1965. D\u2019autres exemples sont analys\u00e9s \u00e0 travers le monde, permettant des approches comparatives : pollutions r\u00e9sultant de l\u2019exploitation de la mine d\u2019Ashio au Japon entre la fin du xixe si\u00e8cle et les ann\u00e9es 1960 (Cyrian Pitteloud), mise en \u0153uvre d\u2019une politique syst\u00e9matique de gestion de l\u2019eau \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9chelle des bassins versants en France \u00e0 partir de la loi de 1964 (St\u00e9phane Frioux), difficult\u00e9s de la gestion des eaux us\u00e9es en Union sovi\u00e9tique entre les ann\u00e9es 1960 et 1980 (Laurent Coumel). Les efforts visant \u00e0 am\u00e9liorer la protection de la qualit\u00e9 de l\u2019eau et \u00e0 r\u00e9duire les risques hydrologiques sont au c\u0153ur des nouvelles politiques environnementales \u00e9labor\u00e9es au cours des ann\u00e9es 1960 et 1970 qui, comme l\u2019examinent les articles de ce volume, ont conduit \u00e0 surmonter des d\u00e9fis mais aussi \u00e0 de nombreux \u00e9checs. L\u2019analyse hydrologique du complexe partage de l\u2019eau du fleuve Cauvery dans le sud-est de la p\u00e9ninsule indienne (Nils-Otto Kitter\u00f8d) ouvre des perspectives actuelles sur les enjeux sociaux de l\u2019exploitation de la ressource et sur les solutions techniques propos\u00e9es dans un contexte de forte pression d\u00e9mographique et de changement climatique.<\/p>\n
