The water trail: from river to river

A permanent exhibition at the C.I.EAU, Le chemin de l'eau: de la rivière à la rivière takes visitors on a journey through ten themes, following the path of water in the urban environment. Modules featuring interactive activities and discoveries illustrate the evolution of drinking water treatment, from its capture in the river, through the many stages of purification and distribution, to its use in the home. For the whole family aged 6 and over.
A history of water quality

The exhibition tells the story of wastewater treatment in Quebec from the early 20th century to the present day, and its impact on water quality in rivers and the St. Lawrence River. Take a step back in time and discover how clean water can be restored and the technologies of the future! To round things off on a high note, a virtual reality excerpt from a visit to a drinking water production plant awaits you!
