Centre d’Enseignement et de Recherche Eau Ville Environnement
(CEREVE) is one of the research centers of the Ecole Nationale des
Ponts et Chaussées (ENPC), the leading civil engineering
school in France. The CEREVE team is composed of 40 scientists and
PhD students. Its research topics are focused on water management
in cities: floods and in particular flash-floods in the French Mediterranean
area, water quality and quantity management in sewers, impact of
urban outflows on receiving waters. The Laboratoire Central de Ponts
et Chaussées is a Public Scientific and Technological Institute
under the authority of the Ministry of Research and the Ministry
of Equipment, Transport and Housing. It employs 328 people in Paris
and 235 in Nantes. The research group involved in this proposal
is part of the Water Division. The main objective of this division
is to develop a global approach to waters in urban areas and its
main research interests are: rainwater management including quantitative
and qualitative aspects, analysis of the operation of sewer systems
and metrology for hydrology and sewer systems.. Both research centers,
the CEREVE and the LCPC, carry out applied research in co-operation
with fundamental research organisms and are closely linked to end
users. They have constant contacts with local authorities, contractors,
engineering design offices, and water companies, in order to make
its know-how available to these groups.
The CEREVE and LCPC teams have ongoing collaborative research projects
within the national research programs on floods analysis and management
(program RIO I and II financed by the French ministry of the environment).
The CEREVE has been involved in the several European projects of
the 4th and 5th Framework program : EUROFLOOD I and II (flood management
over Europe), DAYWATER (promotion of best management practices for
urban sewerage). group “Hydrology of Urban Areas” of
the LCPC has participated to the European projects HYDROMET (use
of radar in hydrometeorology), POLMIT (pollution of groundwater
and soil), ALTMAT (programme transport), SEPHOS (determination of
phosphate forms in water and sediment) and is also involved in the
DAYWATER project.
