Water Management and Planning Scheme (SAGE) in Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur

The Water Planning and Management Scheme (SAGE) is a collective planning document for a coherent hydrographic perimeter and sets general objectives for the use, development, quantitative and qualitative protection of the water resource. It must be compatible with the Master Plan for Water Planning and Management (SDAGE). The scope and time frame within which it is drawn up shall be determined by the SDAGE. Failing that, it shall be adopted by the prefect(s) of department, where appropriate on a proposal from the local and regional authorities concerned. The SAGE is established by a Local Water Commission (CLE) representing the various actors in the territory, subject to public inquiry and approved by the Prefect. It has a legal scope: the regulation and its mapping documents are enforceable against third parties and decisions in the field of water must be compatible or made compatible with the plan for the sustainable management and management of the water resource. Planning documents (scheme of territorial coherence, local planning plan and municipal map) must be compatible with the protection objectives defined by the SAGE. The departmental career plan must be compatible with the provisions of the SAGE. The reference texts are Articles L.212-3 to L.212-11 of the Environmental Code and circular DE/SDATDCP/BDCP/No. 10 of 21 April 2008. The founding regulatory text of the SAGE is the Perimeter Delimitation Order (Source: Technical and regulatory zoning of the water domain, V1.0, June 2011).水资源规划与管理方案（Water Planning and Management Scheme，SAGE）是针对统一水文边界的综合性规划文件，旨在确立水资源利用、开发、水量保护与水质保护的总体目标。该方案必须符合水资源规划与管理总体规划（Master Plan for Water Planning and Management，SDAGE）的要求。其编制范围与时限由该总体规划确定；若总体规划未予明确，则由相关省省长在必要时结合有关地方及区域主管部门的提案予以批准。水资源规划与管理方案由代表辖区内各类利益相关方的地方水资源委员会（Local Water Commission，CLE）制定，需经过公众咨询程序，并经省长批准后方可生效。 该方案具备法定适用效力：相关规制文本及其配套测绘文件可对第三方产生约束力，水利领域的各项决策必须符合，或被调整至符合该水资源可持续管理规划的要求。各类规划文件（包括国土空间协调规划、地方规划及市政规划图）必须契合水资源规划与管理方案所确立的保护目标。部门事业规划必须符合该方案的相关规定。 本方案的依据文本包括《环境法典》第L.212-3条至第L.212-11条，以及2008年4月21日发布的第DE/SDATDCP/BDCP/No.10号通告。 水资源规划与管理方案的设立依据规制文本为边界划定令（Perimeter Delimitation Order），资料来源：《水域技术与规制区划》V1.0，2011年6月。
