Groundwater knowledge projects - PACES

These projects aim to draw up a realistic and concrete portrait of groundwater resources in municipal territories in southern Quebec. They were carried out by university research teams, in partnership with regional actors, in order to provide the knowledge essential for sustainable and integrated management of resources in a context of climate change. This knowledge is available to the general public, in the form of databases, cartographic representations, summary and scientific reports and cartographic atlases, in various formats, for almost all of the municipal territory of southern Quebec. In particular, they provide information on the quality, quantity and vulnerability of the resource. They are useful for water professionals working for example in the field of water research for municipal water supply, resource protection or university research. They are also useful in ensuring the compatibility of development and land use planning with the protection of water resources.
