St-Laurent biodiversity corridor for water retention
FY 2024-25 · 2024-05-03
Summary
The project consists of three assets: enlarging and upgrading the Noroît permanent reservoir by using phytotechnology to increase its capacity; digging a retention basin in a park, to allow infiltration and retention of stormwater through phytotechnology rather than direct runoff to the pipe system; and implementing a 450 hectares biodiversity corridor in the borough to create ecological connectivity between natural environments, parks and green spaces. This will improve the retention of runoff water, thereby reducing the risk of flooding in this sector but also reducing heat islands.

Description (French)
Le projet comprend trois biens: l'agrandissement et la modernisation du réservoir permanent du Noroît en utilisant la phytotechnologie pour augmenter sa capacité ; le creusement d'un bassin de rétention dans un parc, pour permettre l'infiltration et la rétention des eaux pluviales par la phytotechnologie plutôt que le ruissellement direct vers le réseau de canalisations ; et la mise en place d'un corridor de biodiversité pour créer une connectivité écologique entre les milieux naturels, les parcs et les espaces verts. Cela permettra d'améliorer la rétention des eaux de ruissellement, réduisant ainsi le risque d'inondation dans ce secteur mais aussi de réduire les îlots de chaleur
