This dataset contains information on flood protection structures (IPAs) listed in Quebec. For example, they may be embankment dikes or protective walls.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

A Drainage Appliance is an apparatus (that has not been described as a culvert), or earth works, designed to facilitate the movement of water in a controlled manner. Drainage Appliance include some appliances/earth works that work in conjunction with culverts. It is a Point feature

Polygon features showing various zones of protection around drinking water system intakes/wellheads. A drinking water system is any domestic system servicing anything other than a single-family dwelling, as defined in the Drinking Water Protection Act. Zone of protection is a broad term that represents a wide variety of areas as they have been delineated in their corresponding report. The methods and processes used to delineate these zones vary based on several factors including, but not limited to, population, vulnerability, hydrologic/hydrogeologic parameters, etc. For the use of this dataset, the term Protection Zone means that protection measures should be considered and/or implemented in these areas due to the importance of these areas supplying drinking water to their water system users. Protection Zone does not mean that protection measures have been implemented in these areas, nor that protection measures are not required beyond the boundary of these areas. This is one of three Drinking Water Sources datasets (along with the DWS - Intakes/Wellheads points dataset, and DWS - Source Areas polygons dataset). Note: these polygons have unique Protection Zone IDs used to relate them to the Intakes/Wellhead points.

Data on flood zones include mapping carried out as part of the mapping program of the Canada-Quebec Convention from 1976 to 2001, the Program for the determination of flood ratings from 2001 to 2004 (PDCC), as well as the mapping carried out after that date by the Centre d'expertise du Québec (CEH) and its various partners.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Flood extent polygons from the last three days in selected Canadian regions that have been designated for observation, monitored by Natural Resources Canada using satellite imagery for emergency response. Coverage is not comprehensive nationwide. In response to large flood events, Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), for the provision of emergency geomatics services, may be activated by Canada’s emergency management protocols. As new satellite imagery becomes available, NRCan will extract flood extent polygons and update the dataset in near real time (4 hours). This item contains the latest flood products generated in the past three days. For any data older than 72 hours, please refer to the [Floods in Canada - Current Year](https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/b1afd8d2-6e14-4ec4-9a09-652221a6cb71) entry. Note that the web mapping service may not display data if flood polygons have not been published by the EGS in the past three days. The flood products generated are validated on a best effort basis. Various factors may affect the quality of the flood polygons. These factors include, but are not limited to, sensor type, image resolution, cloud cover or limitations of the flood polygon extraction method. In this layer, where possible, a symbology is applied to the flood polygons based on the underlying land use classification, or is simply unclassified and shows the raw flood extent. When using Web mapping services, to display a specific product, filter by date (UTC Date) and area of interest (AOI). Also, a link to download each product directly is available in the Resources section. This prepackaged and compressed product contains a Shape file, a PDF file and a KMZ file. Disclaimer: Emergency response authorities are the primary users of these satellite-derived open water flood extent map products. These products are generated to provide analysis and emergency response situational awareness and to facilitate decision-making during major flood events. The open water flood extent products are generated rapidly and limited time is available for editing and validation. The flood products reflect the open water flood conditions at the date/time of acquisition. While efforts are made to produce high quality products, near-real time products may contain errors due to the limited time available for vector editing and validation. Please note that current algorithms do not map flooded areas under the forest canopy and are not optimized for urban flood mapping.

These thematic layers present the location of the protection areas of category 1 water withdrawal sites as defined in article 51 of the Water Withdrawal and Protection Regulation (RPEP). For groundwater withdrawals, protection areas and their vulnerability levels are determined according to the requirements of articles 53, 54, 57 and 65 of the RPEP. The areas for the protection of surface water withdrawals are determined according to the requirements of articles 70, 72 and 74 of the RPEP.The protection areas and vulnerability levels were compiled by the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change, Wildlife and Parks (MELCCFP) based on vulnerability analysis reports that were produced by municipalities under articles 68 and 75 of the RPEP. According to the manager, the vulnerability analysis reports were produced by professionals, representatives of watershed organizations (OBV) or representatives of regional consultation tables (TCR).**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

The Department of Homeland Security (MSI) supports the development of flood risk knowledge. Flood markers make it possible to illustrate the water level reached during a very major flood and thus to raise public awareness of the risks associated with it while maintaining this awareness of risk in the collective memory. __What is a flood marker? __A flood marker is a physical mark (15 cm in diameter for the standard) testifying to the maximum level reached by a watercourse during a very significant flood on a given date. The flood marker is usually located at a permanent location and is easily visible to everyone, for example on the wall of a building or on a dedicated pole.__Point data set “Flood markers” __ The “Flood reference” data set contains, for each marker, the location, the date of the reference flood and the maximum water level reached. The list of all attributes is provided in the dataset description sheet (Additional Information section).Despite the quality of the work carried out, the Ministry of Homeland Security cannot guarantee the absence of errors in the data.__Related datasets__ The “Flood Water Levels” dataset produced by the Ministry of Homeland Security also contains maximum water levels reached during a flood. The link to this dataset is provided in the _Documentation_ section.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**
