Daily Freshwater Runoffs of the St. Lawrence at the Height of Quebec City

METHODOLOGY

The daily mean run off is estimated using a One-Dimensional model forced by the flows from the basins of the Great Lakes, the Ottawa River and the lateral rivers to the St. Lawrence River, and finally by the observed water level at Saint-Joseph-de-la-Rive using the Lefaivre, D’Astous et Matte (2016) method. The mean uncertainty is 1000 m3/s.
