Aménager les ressources en eau consiste à entretenir et éventuellement élargir un parc d'ouvrages hydrauliques (barrages, digues, puits, stations d'épuration). Gérer des ressources en eau consiste à utiliser ces ouvrages selon un certain nombre de consignes d'exploitation ainsi qu'à répartir, selon certaines règles, les ressources entre les utilisateurs. Ces deux notions, différentes, sont souvent confondues sous le vocable de «gestion des ressources en eau» [...] Le type d'aménagement et le mode de gestion des ressources en eau dépendent du système de préférence adopté, c'est-à-dire au fond d'un choix politique. 3, record 14, French, - am%C3%A9nagement%20des%20ressources%20en%20eau
