Sampling works — Guadeloupe

Works extracted from the National Bank for Quantitative Water Harvests (BNPE). It is therefore not an exhaustive dataset of the sampling works. A sampling structure means a set of technical devices for the collection, storage and piping of water from a resource for primary use. A sampling structure usually corresponds to an anthropogenic system, that is, derived from human activity, developed and maintained by humans, for the purpose of collecting water of a significant amount. A sampling structure is connected to a single water resource, through one or more geographically individualised sampling points, where these are known and well identified. A sampling point shall contain a physical connection point between the water resource and a technical water abstraction device relating to the sampling structure in question. A collection work MUST be determined in such a way as to obtain as much as possible the overall volume taken from the resource. It MUST be composed of several sampling points where there are as many technical water abstraction devices connected to the same resource at different locations, the water collected at these points being usually mixed upstream or downstream of the metering device(s) (water metering), contributing to the overall volume taken from the resource, at the scale of the sampling structure. The waters captured by each of these points must come from the same resource. The perimeter relating to a sampling work MUST be determined independently of the method of distribution of the water taken and carried out downstream of the sampling work, to receiving media and different uses (cultural parks for irrigation, drinking water lines or treatment units, industrial process units, receiving water resources, water towers, etc.) The operation of a sampling structure may be based on one or more modes of physical extraction of water (gravity or bypass, pumping, etc.), with only one method of extraction being generally applied at the level of each of its sampling points. Where there is co-ownership of the material constituting a sampling work, the contracting authority must be the one declared as such to its supervisory body. The maintenance and operation of a sampling work is under the legal and administrative responsibility of a single operator (or manager), which may be identical to the contracting authority, during a period covered by the start and end dates of taking up duties. A sampling work is located on one and only one main municipality, which is itself identified by its INSEE code. In the case of a coastal water collection structure, it shall be considered to be located in the municipality with administrative responsibility for the maritime territory or the coastal area in which the collection works is located.
