Rankings and map of wastewater spills in Quebec
The ranking of wastewater spills presents the annual ranking of municipalities, from worst to best, according to the intensity of spills per capita. Spills refer to untreated water discharged into rivers.
100 megawatts of power for more than 100 threatened rivers
Do you enjoy spending time in nature, fishing for salmon, or practicing an outdoor sport near one of the major rivers? The river near you might be at risk due to Energy Bill 69 (PL 69), which allows developers to propose dam projects on over 100 rivers. Hydro-Québec may have no choice but to approve them!
Our mission
For more than 20 years, the Fondation Rivières has worked to preserve, restore and highlight the natural character of rivers. It helps ensure water quality and access to water for the Quebec population, taking into account social, environmental and economic dimensions.
Energy and hydroelectric dams
The Fondation Rivières is working so that everyone can responsibly enjoy energy with less impact, in an area where rivers flow preserved in their natural state.
