Abstract

The French politico-administrative system is usually characterized as a strong centralized administrative system. However, the decentralisation reform that occurred between 1982 and 1987 has partially counter-balanced central government power to the benefit of local levels of government (i.e. regional,départemental and local). This is true in general as well as in the specific area of water management. Water management involves both decentralised and centralised bodies (as well as their départemental and regional representatives).
