A method for assisting with the management of a pumping device capable of supplying a circuit of a power production facility with water taken from a natural watercourse is disclosed here. In particular, at least some parameters relating to a watercourse and having an influence on the quantity of materials liable to clog filters are collected. A statistical model is developed that is at least based on historical data for said parameters relating to the watercourse for which clogging of the filters has been observed. Current parameters relating to at least the watercourse are collected and said statistical model is used in conjunction with said current parameters to assess the risk of an influx of clogging materials, and an alert signal for deactivating the pumping device at a selected time is generated on the basis of the assessed risk.
