Managers need to know how to mitigate rising stream water temperature (WT) due to climate change. This requires identifying the environmental drivers that influence thermal regime and determining the spatial area where interventions are most effective. We hypothesized that (i) extreme thermal events can be influenced by a set of environmental facto...
Article
The highlighting and study of extreme water temperatures, which endanger numerous species, is of particular interest for river managers planning for future thermal conditions. Extreme water temperatures, defined as temperatures outside the normal range, are predicted to occur more frequently. This range includes seasonality and other trends in temp...

En application de nouvelles dispositions du Code de l’Eau entrées en vigueur fin 2018, les gestionnaires de cours d’eau publics wallons ont élaboré des programmes d’actions détaillés (PARIS) pour la période 2022-2027, à l’échelle d’unités de gestion physiquement homogènes appelées « secteurs ». Ces PARIS ont pour vocation de contribuer à une gestio...

Riparian ecosystems are home to a remarkable biodiversity, but have been degraded in many regions of the world. Vegetation biomass is central to several key functions of riparian systems. It is influenced by multiple factors, such as soil waterlogging, sediment input, flood, and human disturbance. However, knowledge is lacking on how these factors...

L’eau, ressource à protéger, est de plus en plus soumise à diverses contraintes liées notamment à la demande croissante en eau et au réchauffement climatique. Dans ce contexte, la gestion durable des cours d’eau est plus que jamais une nécessité. Pour mettre fin à la détérioration de l’état des masses d’eau et les amener à un « bon état », la direc...
Article
Riparian vegetation is a central component of the hydrosystem. As such, it is often subject to management practices that aim to influence its ecological, hydraulic or hydrological functions. Remote sensing has the potential to improve knowledge and management of riparian vegetation by providing cost-effective and spatially continuous data over wide...

Nous avons utilisé le réseau wallon de surveillance du niveau d’eau des cours d’eau non navigables (réseau Aqualim) afin d’étudier leur régime thermique. Le réseau Aqualim enregistre, en plus de la hauteur d’eau, la température de l’eau toutes les 10 minutes afin de calibrer les données de hauteur d’eau. Nous nous sommes donc intéressés à ces donné...
Article
Many studies focus on stream water temperature (WT) because it is considered a key ecological factor. However, few of them have investigated the use of WT data from water level monitoring networks, which often measure WT as ancillary data. Our study was conducted in southern Belgium at a high temporal resolution with continuous data recorded at int...

La température des cours d’eau est un facteur central pour la compréhension du fonctionnement des écosystèmes aquatiques. La Wallonie (Sud de la Belgique) dispose d’un réseau permanent de monitoring de hauteur d’eau d’environ 140 stations mesurant également la température de l’eau à intervalles de 10 minutes. L’objectif de cette communication est...
Thesis
Full-text available
Stream water temperature is recognized as a primary factor for the aquatic ecosystem. This factor is influenced by many variables and environmental parameters. The objective of this study is to improve knowledge by highlighting the main factors influencing stream water temperature in Wallonia. In addition, particular attention will be paid to therm...
