Intelligent rain gauges for better stormwater management in Longueuil
From October 2025, the agglomeration of Longueuil will be relying on a new technology deployed by X-TELIA: 11 heated rain gauges installed on rooftops in Longueuil, Saint-Lambert, Boucherville, Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville and Brossard.
These intelligent sensors, connected to the X-TELIA network already present in many Quebec cities, will measure precipitation throughout the year. As they are heated, they will also be able to count snow by melting it and converting it into water equivalent.
The data collected will be accessible via a cloud-based dashboard designed by X-TELIA. Cities will be able to track precipitation trends, consult historical data and automatically receive e-mail or text alerts when heavy rainfall occurs in a given area. An invaluable tool for anticipating the impact on stormwater networks and intervening more rapidly.
With this project, the agglomeration of Longueuil gains a new ally to better understand and manage the challenges associated with stormwater, summer and winter alike.
