Coordination This project was coordinated by Anne Rivière-Honegger, Marylise Cottet and Bertrand Morandi (CNRS, UMR 5600 EVS, University of Lyon, ENS Lyon) and is the result of a novel, collective effort. It was prepared during writing workshops held over the years 2012 and 2013, following the "Perception aqua" symposia on the perception and management of aquatic environments held in 2011 and 2012 at ENS Lyon. Writing n Chapter 1 was written by Stéphanie de Carrara, Marie-Anne Germaine, Sabine Girard, Fabrice Grégoire, Céline Sacca and Janique Valy, with Sébastien Ah-leung contributing and Elise Catalon participating. Stéphanie de Carrara managed the writing workshop and monitored the writing process. n Chapter 2 was written by Emeline Comby, Sylvain Dournel, Pauline Gaydou, Christine Labeur, Anne Rivière-Honegger and Janique Valy, with Sébastien Ah-leung, Claire Blouin-Gourbilière and Marylise Cottet contributing. Emeline Comby managed the writing workshop and monitored the writing process. n Chapter 3 was written by Sébastien Ah-leung, Emeline Comby, Marylise Cottet, Nicolas Maughan, Bertrand Morandi and Soraya Rouifed, with Stéphanie de Carrara, Silvia Flamino and Jeannice Marchand contributing. Marylise Cottet and Bertrand Morandi managed the writing workshop and monitored the writing process. n For Chapter 4, the interviews with water managers were carried out by: Sébastien Ah-leung and Emeline Comby (SMBV Drôme), Régis Barraud (Institution Sèvre Nantaise), Marylise Cottet and Christine Labeur (Grand Lyon), Marie-Anne Germaine (CATER Basse-Normandie), Nicolas Maughan (Calavon-Toulon River board), Bertrand Morandi and Anne Rivière-Honegger (Bourbre River board), Janique Valy (IAV EPTB), Marylise Cottet (Contrechamp and Sybille Chiari), Anne Rivière-Honegger (Gérald Domon, Julie Ruiz, Florence Jacquinod and Justine Ultsch) and Bertrand Morandi (Matthias Buchecker). Bertrand Morandi and Anne Rivière-Honegger coordinated and wrote the chapter. Aurélie Sureau participated in writing the chapter. Céline Cordani and Dorothée Hoenen contributed to transcribing the texts. Collaboration Marie-Laure Trémélo and Hervé Tronchère produced the maps. André Buisson reread the bibliographical references and ensured their compliance with applicable standards. Bertrand Morandi collected and managed the figures for the book. Robin Jenkinson participated in proofreading the English version.
