The images obtained are processed by Natural Resources Canada's emergency geomatics services as soon as possible, then the open water polygons are released as open data on Data Canada and on Data Quebec. Other optical or radar acquisitions may have been obtained by the Ministry of Public Security (MSP) from private providers. The Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 acquisitions released as open data by the European Space Agency (ESA) were processed by the firm Dromadaire Géo-Innovations.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**
