Current Projects

 The objective of this study is to assess the present state of the Gatineau River Watershed and to create tools and strategies to be applied to the integrated management of its resources and territory.

 The objective of this project is to develop a remote surveillance system which would monitor the Gatineau River Watershed lakes. This new system is based on satellite technology, geographical information systems, modelling and programming. Field studies will validate the models.

 The objective is to facilitate tree allotment for organizations who would like to take part in the reforestation of the Gatineau River Watershed.

 

 The objective of the project is to ensure a quality-controlled supply of tree seedlings, especially indigenous, to be used for the reforestation of lakeshores and river banks. Reforestation plays a crucial role in the stabilizing of shorelines, preventing erosion and contamination by runoff. It is an important factor in the control of cyanobacteria and algal bloom.

 The general aim of this project is to increase public awareness of blue-green algal bloom and to detect, report and to prevent cyanobacteria outbreaks. It aims to inform the population about the reality of cyanobacteria in our water systems and it aims to educate the population about the most effective measures which should be adopted to reduce cyanobacteria and is effects.  Furthermore, the project aims to encourage citizens, organizations and local authorities to develop common strategies to allow for a better understanding of the state of our waters and to develop effective ways of protecting them.
