Press release - On Earth Day 2020, Fondation Rivières would like to highlight the very constructive steps taken by the Régie d'assainissement des eaux du bassin de Laprairie and the City of Plessisville to protect water quality.
Press release - The Fondation Rivières and the Centre des technologies de l'eau (CTE) have joined forces to offer a service for identifying sources of water pollution in lakes and rivers, as well as scientific and administrative support for identifying the necessary corrective actions. This service will be aimed at watershed organizations, regional county municipalities, municipalities and citizens' groups.
Press release - On the eve of the City of Longueuil's eight-day "flushgate" of untreated wastewater, Fondation Rivières calls for six measures to significantly reduce the pollution caused by municipal decisions.
Fondation Rivières was dismayed to learn this week that the city of Longueuil will be discharging 162,000 cubic meters of wastewater into the river.
Press release – The Earth Day team, involved in the Montréal Bathing Committee, is happy to hand over the organization of the Grand Splash to Fondation Rivières. We are currently co-organizing the 2018 edition and we are leaving them in charge for 2019.
Press release - The worrying quality of the river water noted in July 2017 by the canoeists who paddled the Richelieu River during the Le Richelieu en 24h event prompted Fondation Rivières to identify sources of pollution of municipal origin. This study, the first of its kind on a watershed scale, revealed that wastewater discharges are still numerous, and that the lack of planning in the work to be carried out demonstrates haphazard infrastructure management. The report recommends a new approach to support municipalities in identifying and resolving the most significant environmental problems at watershed level.
