Le concept de désimperméabilisation consiste, d'une part, à remplacer des surfaces imperméables par des surfaces plus perméables et, d'autre part, à déconnecter le rejet des eaux pluviales du réseau public. Son objectif est d'offrir une opportunité au développement d'aménagements plus perméables et respectueux de l'environnement, à des degrés d'échelle différents, de la planification urbaine au projet lui-même. 2, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9simperm%C3%A9abilisation

De bons compagnons pour vos légumes peuvent les protéger des attaques d'insectes, favoriser leur croissance et même améliorer leur goût. [...] De plus, l'ajout de compagnons fleurs ou fines herbes améliore nettement l'allure d'un jardin [...] Le compagnonnage est une méthode biologique qui a pour but d'associer des plantes entre elles. Ces associations permettent de brouiller les systèmes de repérage des insectes nuisibles. C'est par la combinaison de légumes avec des fines herbes ou des fleurs, qu'il est possible de camoufler l'odeur d'une plante et d'en éloigner ses ennemis potentiels. Prenons, pour exemple, la mouche de la carotte. Cette dernière s'attaque à la carotte en y pondant des œufs (futures larves). En alternant les rangs de carottes avec ceux d'oignons, la mouche de la carotte pourra difficilement repérer sa proie «la carotte». L'oignon et la carotte sont donc des plantes amies. [...] Les fines herbes sont d'excellentes plantes compagnes. Plutôt que de les confiner dans un coin du jardin, il vaut mieux les disperser parmi les légumes. 2, record 5, French, - plante%20compagne

The measure of probability that the actual characteristics of the population lie within the stated precision of the estimate derived from a sampling process.
