Montreal river water samples collected in spring 2016 to assess acute toxicity several months after wastewater discharge from work on the Southeast Interceptor sewer. The dataset likely contains toxicity measurements from surface water monitoring. It was published by the Government and Municipalities of Québec under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
Use Cases
- Assessing wastewater discharge impact based on toxicity measurements
- Monitoring river water quality recovery over time based on post-discharge sampling
- Evaluating environmental effects of infrastructure projects based on sewer work monitoring
Strengths
- Data is associated with a detailed monitoring report available via a provided URL.
- Published under a CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for open reuse.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Freshness should be verified; last metadata update was 2026-04-17.
