Sampling points for the QUALO program, which monitors shoreline water quality as part of an aquatic environment network. The dataset is provided by the Government and Municipalities of Québec and was last updated on April 22, 2026. It is available in multiple geospatial formats, including SHP, GEOJSON, and KML.

Use Cases

• Map shoreline water quality monitoring locations based on the described sampling network.
• Analyze spatial distribution of environmental monitoring points along aquatic shorelines.
• Integrate sampling point geometry with other water quality data for regional analysis.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple standard geospatial formats (SHP, GEOJSON, KML, CSV).
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.
• Last update timestamp is precisely recorded (2026-04 22 18:01:40.180318).

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and spatial extent are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
