Rivière aux Outardes (Chateauguay River tributary)

The Rivière aux Outardes is a small tributary of the Chateauguay River located in the Montérégie region of Quebec, Canada. It is distinct from the much larger Rivière aux Outardes located further north on the Côte-Nord. This smaller Rivière aux Outardes flows through primarily agricultural land before emptying into the Chateauguay River. Its drainage basin is relatively small, and its flow is significantly affected by seasonal precipitation and snowmelt. Due to its location in an agricultural area, the river is subject to the typical environmental concerns associated with runoff, including nutrient loading and sedimentation. Local monitoring of water quality may occur.
