As Robert AUZELLE perfectly wrote in his outstanding book "Dernières demeures" :

1. PES : Prediction of extension space
2. HGR : Hydro Geological research
3. PEL : Proposition of cemetery's extension layout

These 3 research enable to :

• make up the prefectural case.
• managing the budget.
• make up the project management .
