Limnometric scales (public)

A limnimetric scale is a ruler, usually made of enamelled steel, that resists corrosion. They are generally attached by means of anchoring to existing infrastructures (bridge, quay, concrete wall) in order to ensure their durability. During periods of flooding, they allow municipalities to monitor and follow the rise in river levels. Purpose: Locate the speed scales that have been installed on waterways in the various administrative regions of Quebec as part of the vigilance project.This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).
