I can give you a very simple example, that of the mayor of Louiseville, who told the media that there was something rotten going on with water treatment plants. He was yelling, saying that he couldn't develop his city because there were capacity issues.
So we used AuditEAU to take a look. The graphs, which are on a PowerBI platform, allowed us to identify an unknown source of contamination. We realized that every March, there were spikes from sewage contamination and those variations were not normal. We realized that it came from an industrial source. After speaking with the Quebec Ministry of the Environment, we were able to confirm its suspicions. This is an example of the smart use of AuditEAU data in a specific context.
We also do real-time water quality monitoring so that we can help municipalities open swimming areas. Swimming gives us access to data. It also helps us better understand rivers and makes us realize that water quality is variable, which is normal.
