Measurement of flow and level stations from partners of the Ministry of Public Security (MSP). Flows and levels make it possible to automatically monitor the risks of flooding in open water on rivers, watersheds and lakes where hydrometric stations are installed based on pre-established consequence thresholds. Other watercourses that do not have such instruments are also monitored by municipal and governmental authorities. Data from the following partners are integrated into the application and web services: Quebec Water Expertise Center, Quebec Water Expertise Center, Meteorological Service of Canada, Hydrographic Service of Canada, Hydro Meteo, Chaudière River Monitoring System, USGS... The latest level (m) and flow (m³/s) values are provided, when available, as well as the status of the station according to pre-established flood thresholds. The definition of states can be found here: https://vigilance.geo.msp.gouv.qc.ca/en-savoir-plus/stations#etat). This data is updated several times a day and is also visualized in the Vigilance - Flood Monitoring application.This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).
