Término o frase en francés: l'ensemble amont du bassin
This is confusing! Elsewhere the article refers to "l'amont du bassin versant" which I have translated as "the upstream part of the drainage basin", but obviously this is not the case here. This is the context:

"...il est indispensable d'aborder la question de l'aménagement de l'ensemble amont du bassin versant."

With "l'ensemble" now placed in front, the "amont" has lost its definite object, leaving me unsure whether to assume that it means "the whole of the upstream part...etc" or something else.

Any help gratefully received.

Peter James: 10:39 Jun 23, 2007: Sorry, that should be "definite article" not object.
Francis Marche: 08:50 Jun 30, 2007: But this is so wrong: "watershed management" has never been anything else but "aménagement du bassin versant" in French and "Bassin versant" is NOT a basin like the Congo or Amazon Basin; and "upper reaches" IS the term for "the upstream part"

All the upstream part of the basin

Thanks to Drmanu for confirming and to Bourth for the fine tuning (think I'll go with "entire" here).

Coincido Bourth: Or "the entire upstream part". I can't actually see a functional difference between the 2 terms referred to (context notwithstanding). And that's the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth ;-)

il s'agit peut-être d'un aménagement global
http://www.epama.fr/documents/lettres/lettreEPAMA-5.htm

Il s’agit de modéliser le système de crue sur l’ensemble du bassin amont de la Meuse pour bien en comprendre les caractéristiques. La réflexion doit aussi intégrer tous les aspects de l’occupation du sol, du contexte et des potentialités environnementales à l’échelle de l’ensemble de cette partie amont du bassin versant, pour pouvoir proposer un ensemble de projets locaux équilibrés et cohérents.
