Quebec Waterway Flood Monitoring Scales

Limnometric scales installed on waterways across Quebec administrative regions for monitoring river levels during flooding. Data includes geographic locations and is provided in multiple GIS formats including SHP and GEOJSON. The dataset is maintained by the Government and Municipalities of Québec.

Use Cases

• Map scale locations using geographic coordinates from SHP or GEOJSON files for regional flood infrastructure planning.
• Analyze spatial distribution of monitoring scales across administrative regions to assess flood vigilance network coverage.
• Integrate scale location data with real-time water level feeds to enhance flood monitoring and alert systems.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple interoperable GIS formats (SHP, GEOJSON, WMS).
• Managed by the authoritative Government and Municipalities of Québec.
• Updated recently, with a last update timestamp of 2026-03-25.
