Water Planning and Management Plans (SAGE) — Meeting

The SAGE is a planning tool, established by the 1992 Water Act, aimed at the balanced and sustainable management of water resources. Declination of SDAGE on a more local scale, it aims to reconcile the satisfaction and development of different uses (drinking water, industry, agriculture,...) and the protection of aquatic environments, taking into account the specificities of a territory. Delimited according to natural criteria, it concerns a river basin * or a tablecloth. It is based on a voluntary approach to consultation with local actors. It is an essential instrument for the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD). As such, 68 SAGEs were identified as necessary by the SDAGEs approved in 2009 (period 2010-2015) and 62 SAGE were identified as necessary by the SDAGEs approved in 2015 (period 2016-2021) to comply with the basic guidelines and objectives set by the WFD. __Partner organisations__ Ash, International Office of Water __Links annexes__ * [see the site of integrated management tools for Gest'Water](http://www.gesteau.fr/) * [consult the Dictionary of Data & Quotations; Technical and Regulatory Zones of the Water Domain (ZON)" version 2.2](http://www.sandre.eaufrance.fr/?urn=urn:sandre:dictionnaire:ZON:::ressource:2.2:::html) [See this page on geo.data.gouv.fr](https://geo.data.gouv.fr/fr/datasets/2e882187ab6df9c9f02e77254b1d50d232f5f6fb)
