  abstract = {{T}he development of irrigation in {F}rance is several centuries old. {D}uring the twentieth century the state constructed most of the irrigation networks. {I}ndividual irrigation development dates back to the 1960s and is characterized by an easier uptake of technological innovations. {T}oday, the total equipped area is leveling off, and trends include a development of drip irrigation and the near disappearance of gravity irrigation. {P}ublic policies with a direct or indirect impact on irrigation have also changed significantly in recent decades. {A}gricultural policies, once very favorable to the development of irrigation, have moved to policies that are increasingly oriented toward the protection of water resources. {I}n some basins, farmers face severe administrative reduction of their pumping authorization. {W}ater resources management at the watershed or territory levels also changed significantly. {I}n basins facing large quantitative deficits, special institutions are created to manage the volume of water available for agriculture. {H}owever, concerns remain regarding the effectiveness of such institutions and more generally the future of irrigation in a context of global change.},
