Gestion des réseaux urbains de l'eau en stations touristiques alpines

The book "Management of Urban Water Networks in Alpine Tourist Resorts" by Christian Bréthaut provides a comprehensive analysis of water infrastructure in the alpine tourism regions of Crans-Montana (Switzerland) and Morzine-Avoriaz (France). It is based on a dissertation conducted between 2009 and 2012 at the Kurt Bösch University Institute. The study highlights the challenges arising from seasonal population fluctuations in these areas, particularly regarding water availability and consumption. By viewing these tourist regions as laboratories for urban water management, various institutional mechanisms and strategies developed by political actors as well as professionals from the water and tourism sectors are examined. The book is aimed at readers interested in the social and environmental aspects of water management and offers valuable insights into the sustainability and legal frameworks of water infrastructure.
