Abstract (in English)

Water clearly has a special place amongst the many relationships which exist between man and nature. It is a permanent and essential human need. Access to water is a vital element common to all human civilisations; there are no exceptions, meaning that all civilisations have a water culture. In the course of history, this has led to a wide variety of tangible and social expressions, which we may consider to be one of the fundamental heritages of humanity. The aim of the approach adopted for this thematic study is to provide assistance for recognising, studying and preserving heritage of this type. For this initial study, ICOMOS has chosen to focus on the region of the Middle East and the Maghreb, inside the general framework of water rarity. The thematic study proposes a typological inventory which should primarily be seen as a methodological aid for anyone wishing to consider the above-mentioned aspects, either with a view to achieving recognition and protection of such heritages by the World Heritage List or to protecting heritage in a national context. A second edition is foreseen at a later stage which would complete the overall picture with some additional contributions.

L’eau occupe sans aucun doute une place privilégiée au sein des nombreuses relations que l’homme entretient avec la nature. Il s’agit d’un besoin humain permanent essentiel. Cet accès à l’eau constitue un élément vital commun à toutes les civilisations humaines ; aucune n’y échappe et toutes ont en conséquence une culture de l’eau. Au cours de l’histoire, cela a conduit à des expressions matérielles et sociales diversifiées, en un mot à l’un des patrimoines fondamentaux de l’humanité. Une aide pour leur reconnaissance, leur étude et leur préservation constitue le premier objectif de la démarche que nous entreprenons ici. Pour cette étude initiale, l’ICOMOS a choisi de se concentrer sur la région du Moyen- Orient et du Maghreb, au sein du cadre général de l’eau rare. L’étude thématique propose un inventaire typologique qui doit surtout être une aide méthodologique pour tous ceux qui voudront bien se pencher sur les aspects susmentionnés, que ce soit dans le but d’une reconnaissance et d’une protection de ces patrimoines par la Liste du patrimoine mondial ou dans celui d’une protection dans un cadre national. Une deuxième édition est prévue ultérieurement qui compléterait l'image globale avec quelques contributions supplémentaires.
