Abstract
A team of scientists from the Department of Physical Geography at the University of Liège have worked with A. Pissart on the present research; Damien Closson carried out the Arc-Info cartography and the studies on the protection of water catchments, on the sewage possibilities and on the fertility of soils; Camille Ek studied the karstic dangers; Michel Erpicum and Georges Mabille the climatological issues, while François Petit was concerned with the flood hazards.
