8 IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RESTORATION PROJECT Rebuilding paths of dialogues Germaine, M.A. and Lespez L Water Alternative Conceptual framework: ANT (actor network theory) approach Methodology Participant observation Workshop attending : local politicians and residents technicians technical and steering comittee public mettings of the friends of the dams Press analyses Semi-structured interviews (elected officials, NGO members, river managers and recreational infrastructure managers)
9 IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RESTORATION PROJECT Rebuilding paths of dialogues The fruits tangible results of the dialogue Branches elargement to other stakeholders The central trunk reflecting an organized dialogue based on the identification of a common language and common values The Roots network involved in the dialogue The seed event which triggers the consultation
10 1- Environnemental crisis and and creation of a local collective in favour to dam removals Drawdown of the lakes (1993) Release of 200,000 tons of sediments in the riverbed and floodplain Advisory opinion in favour of dam removal (2005) Local water commission (1997) network Migratory fishermen Seine Normandy water agency Farmers EDF Local politicians seed Draining of the lake (1993)

20 IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RESTORATION PROJECT Social failure: why? State inaction for 4 years pro-dam campaign strengthened it self No clear timescale for the project Salmon: Overemphasized argument: - Emblem used from people from outside the territory - Local political leaders needed Sélune project: too technical and too technocratic In a debate which can t be restricted to one between expertise and local knowledge, translators are necessary
21 The scientific program Main goals: Restoration success Physical, chemical, biological & social processes How? Long-term studies pre- & post removal Interdisciplinarity (4 research groups & a coordination group) BEFORE Initial state Progressive drawdown (sediment management) & DAM REMOVAL AFTER
