Pratiques agricoles et ressources en eau des vallées principales du bassin versant de la Maine : quelles représentations ?

This paper explores farming practices in valleys of the Loir, Sarthe and Mayenne rivers within the Maine watershed in north-western France, and their representations by farmers and other rural stakeholders. The three basins differ considerably in their morphology and land uses. This research was rea...
