The database on uses related to the aquatic environment (URMA) is a database consisting of information on water-related activities collected by representatives of the General Directorate for Monitoring the State of the Environment (DGSEE) of the Ministry of the Environment, the Fight against Climate Change, Climate Change, Wildlife and Parks (MELCCFP) and by the watershed organizations responsible for implementing the integrated management of the water at the watershed scale. Uses related to the aquatic environment can be classified into four main categories: uses practiced in coastal recreational areas, uses involving indirect contact with water, uses involving direct contact with water and finally, uses involving water sampling. Please consult the Lexicon of uses related to the aquatic environment for a description of each of the types of uses listed in the URMA bank.This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).
