Accessing the Site
Layout of the site
Plurality of Styles
The layout of this site is based on a number of style sheets, to consult the site in various different presentation styles:
- a graphic presentation, using the Veolia Water colors;
- a light, less visual presentation intended in particular for visually impaired persons and persons using a mobile apparatus like a PDA or a cellular phone.
These presentations are accessible:
- from the Affichage (Display) menu of the browsers supporting the alternative styles;
- from the "Version allégée" (Light version) or "Version graphique" (Graphic version) link displayed at the top of each page.
Font Size
Users can modify the presentation of this website, and particularly the font size, as the layout is based on relative units (em and percentages), rather than absolutes (pixels) (priority 2).
To modify the font size:
- Ctrl + mouse scroll wheel
- or "Affichage / Taille du texte" (Display / text size) menu
