Le pr sent document offre un bref aper u de la raison d' tre des programmes de gestion des eaux pluviales et explique les raisons de l'importance de mettre en application des mesures de ma trise des eaux de ruissellement dans un contexte de d veloppement durable. Le but du pr sent document est d' valuer les b n fices hydrauliques et environnementaux de l'implantation des Pratiques de Gestion Optimales travers une tude de cas repr sent e par le r seau du secteur 1 de l'arrondissement de Verdun. Les performances hydraulique et environnementale ont t analys es et compar es pour trois sc narios de configuration du r seau. Le premier sc nario de base consiste analyser le r seau dans son tat actuel de fonctionnement sans aucune intervention. L'objectif du deuxi me sc nario est d'analyser les b n fices apport s par la s paration des r seaux en construisant un r seau de sub-surface d di aux eaux pluviales. Le troisi me sc nario permet de mettre en vidence l'apport des PGO combin la s paration des r seaux dans l'am lioration des performances hydraulique et environnementale du r seau.

La gestion des eaux pluviales par ouvrages de retention est une science innovante qui a grandement evolue au cours des dernieres decennies. Dans un contexte de developpement durable, de nombreux intervenants plaident aujourd'hui en faveur de la valorisation de l'eau de pluie a titre de ressource porteuse d'opportunites. Les multiples benefices environnementaux, ecologiques et sociaux attribuables a l'implantation d'ouvrages de retention vegetalises et multifonctionnels sont maintenant largement reconnus. Parmis les differentes fonctions proposees, l'amenagement des bassins de retention en ecosystemes viables participant a la protection de la biodiversite est une idee emergente, defendue par une vaste litterature scientifique. A travers l'etude du cas des bassins de retention de la ville de Montreal, au Quebec, ce manuscrit presente les modalites de la mise en oeuvre d'une approche de gestion optimale integree de l'eau pluviale et de la biodiversite au sein d'ouvrages existants et futurs. Ce guide d'implantation strategique est destine aux developpeurs et decideurs municipaux, ainsi qu'aux divers specialistes de l'environnement, ingenieurs, urbanistes et architectes paysagistes."

Earthen architecture constitutes one of the most diverse forms of cultural heritage and one of the most challenging to preserve. It dates from all periods and is found on all continents but is particularly prevalent in Africa, where it has been a building tradition for centuries. Sites range from ancestral cities in Mali to the palaces of Abomey in Benin, from monuments and mosques in Iran and Buddhist temples on the Silk Road to Spanish missions in California. This volume's sixty-four papers address such themes as earthen architecture in Mali, the conservation of living sites, local knowledge systems and intangible aspects, seismic and other natural forces, the conservation and management of archaeological sites, research advances, and training.

Can we unlock resilience to climate stress by better understanding linkages between the environment and biological systems? Agroclimatology allows us to explore how different processes determine plant response to climate and how climate drives the distribution of crops and their productivity. Editors Jerry L. Hatfield, Mannava V.K. Sivakumar, and John H. Prueger have taken a comprehensive view of agroclimatology to assist and challenge researchers in this important area of study. Major themes include: principles of energy exchange and climatology, understanding climate change and agriculture, linkages of specific biological systems to climatology, the context of pests and diseases, methods of agroclimatology, and the application of agroclimatic principles to problem-solving in agriculture.

Having safe drinking water is important to all Americans. The Environmental Protection Agency's decision in the summer of 2001 to delay implementing a new, more stringent standard for the maximum allowable level for arsenic in drinking water generated a great deal of criticism and controversy. Ultimately at issue were newer data on arsenic beyond those that had been examined in a 1999 National Research Council report. EPA asked the National Research Council for an evaluation of the new data available. The committee's analyses and conclusions are presented in Arsenic in Drinking Water: 2001 Update. New epidemiological studies are critically evaluated, as are new experimental data that provide information on how and at what level arsenic in drinking water can lead to cancer. The report's findings are consistent with those of the 1999 report that found high risks of cancer at the previous federal standard of 50 parts per billion. In fact, the new report concludes that men and women who consume water containing 3 parts per billion of arsenic daily have about a 1 in 1,000 increased risk of developing bladder or lung cancer during their lifetime.
