Cours d'eau branchés for PC

Connected waterways allows citizens, using virtual monitoring stations, to learn more about waterways, get involved in their monitoring and contribute to science. The data collected will make it possible to better document the state of health of waterways and their ecosystems in a context of climate change.

Using simple steps, including taking a photo, several items are assessed at each station:
• Ice cover
• The water level
• The state of the riparian strips
• The stability of the banks
• The biodiversity
• Degradation caused by humans
• Abnormal observations

The data is then compiled into an open database that scientists can search, helping them in their research.

It is possible to create your own monitoring station, near your home or in a place you frequent often. You can also document an already existing station.
