Expert: Low water levels
In Quebec鈥檚 Mont茅r茅gie region, residents are facing a growing water crisis, particularly in Mercier and Saint-R茅mi, due to the depletion of resources in underground aquifers. The water scarcity has affected agriculture, forcing some farmers to abandon vegetable crops.
Meanwhile, the level of the St. Lawrence River is notably lower than usual for this time of year, affecting fishing, boating and shipping around Montreal.
