Nastev1, C. Lamontagne2, R. Morin3 Abstract The Châteauguay River Watershed is located in south-western Quebec, south-west of Montreal (Figure 1). It extends on the both sides of the U.S. (New York State) Canada border. Of the total surface of 2490 km2, in Canada it encompasses approximately 1450 km2, or 57%. This is one of the densely populated regions in Canada with some 100,000 habitants (Statistics Canada, 2001). Approximately two thirds (65%) of the population rely on groundwater as the only source of water. Private wells are used mainly in the rural regions and it is estimated that approximately 20,000 wells tap their water from the regional aquifers. In the U.S., the watershed covers the eastern part of the Franklin County and the western part of the Clinton County. The aquifer system supplies largely rural population of small villages and farms. Figure 1. Study area with the DEM as background 483 The industrial activity in the region resulted in one of the most important contamination cases in Canada in the early 70s when the DNAPL contamination in the Lagunes de Mercier forced the authorities of the Ville de Mercier and Sainte Martine to abandon the exploitation of the municipal wells.

  • Research Concerning Kahnawake's Participation in the War of 1812
    Research concerning Kahnawake’s Participation in the War of 1812 This memo briefly presents the findings of our research on Kahnawake Mohawk participation in the War of 1812. The memo is accompanied by a collection of 34 primary and secondary source documents, a document list, and an annotated listing of sources reviewed (records researched). Robert Allen’s His Majesty’s Indian Allies In the text of his book His Majesty’s Indian Allies, Robert Allen stated that the combined number of warriors for Kahnawake (Caughnawaga), St. Régis (Akwesasne) and the Lake of Two Mountains at Oka (Kanesatake) was 670. The Indians of Upper Canada were estimated as numbering about 1,590 and included 400 Mohawk from the Grand River and another 50 from the Bay of Quinte (Tyedinaga); 220 Mississauga from the area of York, and 70 Ojibwa from Matchedash (Georgian Bay) and Lake Simcoe; 670 “Iroquois” from St. Régis (Akwesasne), Caughnawaga (Kahnawake); the Lake of Two Mountains at Oka (Kanehsatake); 130 Nipissing or Algonkin (Algonquin) in the same area; and 100 Abenaki from the St. Francis River (Odanak)…1 An appendix in Robert S. Allen’s His Majesty’s Indian entitled “List of Indian Warriors as they Stood in 1812 at the time war was declared”, consists of a transcript of an 1814 document from the Strachan Papers at the Archives of Ontario. Allen’s transcript states that the number Indians of Upper and Lower Canada were few in numbers, but claimed the list provided was “nearly a correct enumeration of them”. In contrast to the text of his book, cited above, the appendix lists 670 warriors for the “[Iroquois] of Canawaga” solely:2 1 Allen, Robert S.

The Châteauguay River flows out from the Upper Châteauguay Lake in the New York State and flows into Lac St-Louis on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River. Approximately 65% of the 100,000 habitants in the region rely on groundwater as the only source of water supply. The regional aquifers consist mainly of Lower Paleozoic sedimentary fractured rocks; sandstone, dolostone and limestone. Indications of important rock depressions are found below the modern rivers. Glacial and fine marine sediments cover regional aquifers. Regional recharge occurs at higher altitudes where rock crops out.
