Abstract
Dans la situation dégradée des opérations extérieures, l’hygiène en campagne, notamment celle liée à l’eau potable, mérite d’être parfaitement maîtrisée. Une nouvelle doctrine impose pour chaque usage une qualité d’eau unique, équivalente à celle proposée en métropole. La production d’eau est mise en oeuvre en opération extérieure par les armées, grâce à des matériels adaptés dont certains sont nouveaux et très performants. Pour répondre aux besoins quantitatifs et qualitatifs des troupes, le traitement de l’eau potable, basé sur les principes classiques de clarification et de désinfection, est choisi après une analyse des dangers et une étude pluridisciplinaire de la qualité de la ressource. Le contrôle est confié au service de santé des armées, en particulier aux vétérinaires qui disposent, pour assurer cette mission cruciale, d’une formation technique, de laboratoires de terrain, de laboratoires et d’experts référents en métropole.
During foreign operations in a degraded environment, field hygiene, and especially that of drinking water, must be perfectly controlled. A new doctrine imposes a single standard for the quality of water, equivalent to that found in France. When on foreign operations, military staff produces drinking water using appropriate equipment, some of which is new and very efficient. To meet the quantitative and qualitative needs of the troops, water is treated using the traditional clarification and disinfection principles, based on a hazard analysis and a multidisciplinary evaluation of the resources available. The quality of the water is checked by the French military health services, in particular by their veterinary surgeons, who have the required technical knowledge and have access to field laboratories, as well as referral laboratories and experts in France.
