  • La Gestion De L'eau Potable
    COMMUNE DE COSSONAY La gestion de l’eau potable à Cossonay Organisation Pour gérer son service des eaux, la commune de Cossonay fait partie de deux entités intercommunales, soit : • l'Entente intercommunale de Cossonay et Dizy pour l'exploitation de la nappe phréatique du bois du Sépey • le Groupement de la Vy de Mauraz, qui regroupe 8 communes, soit Cuarnens, Chavannes-le-Veyron, Dizy, Gollion, La Chaux, Lussery-Villars, Senarclens et Cossonay. La "Vy de Mauraz" est le nom du lieu-dit où se situe le réservoir d'eau potable du réseau exploité par ces communes. Sources d'approvisionnement La commune de Cossonay bénéficie de deux sources d'approvisionnement. Il s'agit principalement de captages situés au Pied du Jura, sur la commune de L'Isle. Ces captages fournissent annuellement environ 1'400'000 m 3 d'eau qui sont dirigés dans le réservoir de la Vy de Mauraz (Groupement de la Vy de Mauraz). En cas de besoin, nous pouvons prélever l'eau de la nappe phréatique du bois du Sépey, grâce à deux puits de pompage situés sur le territoire de la commune de Dizy. Réseau de distribution intercommunal Le réseau de distribution intercommunal débute aux captages situés au Pied du Jura et s'étend jusqu'à Gollion, pour une branche et jusqu'à Lussery-Villars pour une deuxième branche. Sur son parcours, il alimente les autres communes du Groupement de la Vy de Mauraz, dont Cossonay. Ce réseau représente 22 kilomètres de conduite. Il est jalonné de plusieurs chambres de comptage. Réseau de distribution communal Le réseau de distribution propre à Cossonay est raccordé sur le réseau intercommunal qui constitue en fait la "colonne vertébrale" de l'ensemble.

  • Schwa Distribution and Acquisition in Light of Swiss French Data
    FACULTY OF HUMANITIES, SOCIAL SCIENCES AND EDUCATION DEPARTMENT OF LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTICS Schwa Distribution and acquisition in light of Swiss French data Helene N. Andreassen A dissertation for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor May 2013 Schwa Distribution and acquisition in light of Swiss French data Helene N. Andreassen A dissertation for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor University of Tromsø Department of Language and Linguistics May 2013 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Acknowledgements Someone asked me once how I could spend years of my life studying one single vowel. A few times I have asked myself the same question, but I always end up with the same answer: it is small but oh, so complex and fascinating. Despite its smallness, it grows in complexity and importance the more one digs into the topic. The idea of looking at schwa in children’s speech came to me after a meeting with the Phonology Reading Group at the University of Tromsø. When it was time to write a research proposal, I presented the idea – still quite vague – to my supervisor, Professor Chantal Lyche. Throughout my entire PhD, Chantal has been in Oslo, on the opposite side of Norway, or on one of the world’s other continents, and has made a couple of visits to Tromsø each year. However, I cannot think of a supervisor more present and available to her PhD student. Since the very beginning of this project, Chantal has encouraged me to pursue my ideas, she has guided me to discover relationships in my data, she has pushed me to work hard on the tricky parts, and through her expertise in linguistics and her ability to see the common thread, she has made me write – and finish – a thesis where the different components connect.

  • Preavis 10-2008
    COMMUNE DE COSSONAY Municipalité _________________________ AU CONSEIL COMMUNAL 1304 COSSONAY Cossonay, le 13 octobre 2008/frm Préavis municipal No 10/2008 concernant l'adhésion de la commune de Cossonay à l'Association de la région Cossonay – Aubonne – Morges (ARCAM). Monsieur le Président, Mesdames, Messieurs, Nous avons le plaisir de vous soumettre la demande d’adhésion de notre commune à l’Association de la région de Cossonay – Aubonne - Morges dont les activités remplaceront celles de l’Association de la Région de Cossonay (ARC). Lorsqu'en 1985, le Grand Conseil adopta la loi sur le développement économique régional (LDER), il donna aux communes de l’arrière-pays l’opportunité d’engager des travaux d’infrastructures à moindre frais par l'octroi de crédits sans intérêts. Pour obtenir cet avantage, deux conditions furent posées par le législateur. Dans un premier temps les communes devaient s'associer en Région, puis elles avaient le devoir d'établir un programme de développement, présentant en plus des projets d'investissement, les actions qu'elles envisageaient d'engager ensemble pour assurer le développement de la région. C’est ainsi qu’en 1987 fut créée l’Association de la Région de Cossonay (ARC) regroupant les 32 communes du district. Dans ce cadre, 65 projets totalisant 160 millions d’investissements, menés pas les communes membres ou d’autres organismes à but non lucratif, ont obtenu près de 23 millions de francs d’emprunts, libres de charges financières, pour mener à bien des travaux dans de multiples domaines (scolaires, techniques, culturels, sportifs, etc.). Très rapidement, au-delà de cet élément financier, l’ARC fut un vecteur important de rassemblement régional.

Bogner , B. Hingray and A. Musy Swiss Federal Institute of Technology - Lausanne, ENAC-HYDRAM, CH-1015 Lausanne, Switzerland ([email protected]) Abstract: Although the inherent uncertainty associated with rainfall-runoff processes is well known, most mathematical models of such systems are completely deterministic in nature. Stochastic modelling requires that the uncertainty, which is associated with both the model parameters and the stochastic inputs, should be quantified in some manner as an inherent part of the modelling analysis. To achieve these objectives, a Data-based mechanistic (DBM) modelling approach will be tested for the Jura lake system (Switzerland).

  • Regional Inequality in Switzerland, 1860 to 2008
    Economic History Working Papers No: 250/2016 Multiple Core Regions: Regional Inequality in Switzerland, 1860 to 2008 Christian Stohr London School of Economics Economic History Department, London School of Economics and Political Science, Houghton Street, London, WC2A 2AE, London, UK. T: +44 (0) 20 7955 7084. F: +44 (0) 20 7955 7730 LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS AND POLITICAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC HISTORY WORKING PAPERS NO. 250 - SEPTEMBER 2016 Multiple Core Regions: Regional Inequality in Switzerland, 1860 to 2008 Christian Stohr London School of Economics Abstract This paper estimates regional GDP for three different geographical levels in Switzerland. My analysis of regional inequality rests on a heuristic model featuring an initial growth impulse in one or several core regions and subsequent diffusion. As a consequence of the existence of multiple core regions Swiss regional inequality has been comparatively low at higher geographical levels. Spatial diffusion of economic growth has occurred across different parts of the country and within different labor market regions at the same time. This resulted in a bell- shape evolution of regional inequality at the micro regional level and convergence at higher geographical levels. In early and in late stages of the development process, productivity differentials were the main drivers of inequality, whereas economic structure was determinant between 1888 and 1941.
