This theme presents the index of water health along the banks of the St. Lawrence River. It makes it possible to determine if the sites present risks to human health and if they are suitable for swimming. These data are the result of an exploratory monitoring program that aims to raise awareness...

This thematic layer represents the characterization of the hardness of surface water in Quebec for the period 2005 to 2019. The hardness is presented according to the medians calculated from the concentrations of calcium and magnesium ions in seven classes. Water hardness influences the toxicity...

This theme presents the trophic status of lakes monitored as part of the Voluntary Lake Monitoring Network (RSVL) between 2004 and 2020. The trophic state is the result of the compilation of data acquired as part of this network. Trophic levels are used to classify lakes according to their degree...

This layer shows the location of the sampled stations classified according to the Eastern Canada Diatom Index (IDEC). It contains data obtained since 1935 that was converted to version 3 of the index (Lavoie et al. 2014). Benthic diatoms are microscopic unicellular algae that line the bottom of...
