The Quebec groundwater monitoring network, which has more than 270 observation wells located in all regions of Quebec, aims to collect data to assess the effect of climate change on groundwater levels. Some observation wells were active as early as 1969, but most of the network was developed under the 2006-2012 Climate Change Action Plan and the 2013-2020 Climate Change Action Plan.
Each point indicates the location of an observation well. The data collected and the information available are the physical description of the well, the measurements of the water level and temperature presented in tables and graphs, and the results of chemical analysis of the water. Based on this data, a bulletin on the state of the aquifers south of the St. Lawrence River is published on the Department's website, on the page of the Quebec groundwater monitoring network, at the link below.This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).
