The Quebec Drinking Water Economy Strategy was implemented in March 2011 by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. It provides municipalities with tools for diagnosing water use and sets province-wide and municipality-specific conservation targets for the period 2011-2017, with objectives aimed at 2025. The dataset originates from the Government and Municipalities of Québec and was last updated in April 2026.
Use Cases
- Benchmark municipal water conservation performance based on the 20% reduction target per person
- Analyze infrastructure investment trends based on the goal to eliminate maintenance deficits
- Compare leak levels across municipalities based on the International Water Association index target
Strengths
- Strategy is tied to a specific government commitment (Commitment 49 of the National Water Policy)
- Sets clear, quantified province-wide targets (e.g., 20% reduction per person by 2025)
- Includes municipality-specific goals adapted to local characteristics
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
