Gest’Eau is the national website dedicated to Water Development and Management Master Plan (SDAGE), to water development and management scheme (SAGE) and to environment contract (river, bay and groundwater). It’s a reference website mentioned in several legal orders and circulars of the French Ministry for Ecology and Sustainable Development. It is available at: http://www.gesteau.eaufrance.fr

Gest’Eau enables to get, besides information on each SAGE & environment contracts, contour of boundaries, documents produced in the framework of each tool and at national scale; it also makes available some synthesis documents specifically written to meet the SAGE managers’ needs.

Created and developed in 2002 by the International Office for Water (IOW), together with the French Ministry for Ecology and Sustainable Development, it was first dedicated only to the SAGE. Then, in 2005, it was extended to the contracts & innovative restoration actions and to aquatic environment protection actions, and in 2010 to the River Basin Management Plan.

GEST'EAU is today operated by IOW, under the coordination of the French Ministry for Ecology and Sustainable Development and the National Office for Water and Aquatic Environments (Onema).

Apart from the definition of the different water integrated management tools (SDAGE, SAGE, environment contracts), all the SAGE and environment contracts are detailed on complete fact sheets introducing:

- Characteristics (geographical, physical, socio-economical, institutional, etc.) of the basin concerned,

- The status report and proceedings dates of the SAGE or contract process,

- The involved stakeholders and their contact details (President of Local Water Commission or river committee, project officers, president of the support structure, etc.),

- Documents produced in the framework of the SAGE/contracts linked to the corresponding files.

These sheets can be updated directly by the project officers thanks to a secure access.

-Gain access to the statutory texts and associated jurisprudence,
