The BRGM (National Geological Survey) has asked Hélène Fournié to communicate on the phenomena of rising water tables in urban areas, phenomena that are little known but often problematic. The illustration is mainly aimed at local authorities and structures involved in land management, but will undoubtedly find an important audience among individuals and other actors.
This illustration is the result of a compromise between scientific information and popularization, and was produced under the supervision of Timothée Dupaigne, regional hydrogeologist at BRGM Ile de France.
