A study was undertaken to evaluate the suitability of the SLURP hydrological model for simulating the hydrology of the Saint Esprit watershed (26 km 2) in Quebec. Climatic data and other input were made available through a monitoring program set up in the watershed from 1994 to 1998. GIS was used to store, analyze and export the watershed information into the model. The continuous semi-distributed model SLURP was calibrated using three years of data (1994--1996). Parameter calibration, except that of snowpack melt-rate, was done through an automatic optimization technique. The model was validated using graphical outputs, the Nash/Sutcliffe (R2) coefficient of performance for daily runoff, and the percent difference of predicted versus computed runoff on a monthly, seasonal and annual basis. Additionally, the evapotranspiration (ET) component of the model was compared with an ET estimated using the Baier & Robertson model (BR) calibrated for the region. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

The Saint-Esprit watershed project was initiated to address the issue of nonpoint source agricultural pollution and relies on the adoption of sustainable practices tested on-farm by willing farmers. To study the economic impact of an increasing erosion constraint at the farm and the watershed scales, four Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) models, corresponding to three selected farms and the watershed, were built. The models maximize the sum of field net margins subject to singleness of field use, animal nutrient requirements, and erosion. / Scenario results show that increasing the erosion constraint: (1) reduces soil loss from agricultural production; (2) forces cropping patterns and farming practices to change; (3) reduces profits; and (4) induces marginal and average costs to increase at an increasing rate. Also, with comparable average soil losses per hectare, farms with lower net margins would be worse off if the erosion target was set at the watershed level.

Cherchant à mieux comprendre la nature du phénomène de l'inhabitation trinitaire et ses mécanismes, nous nous sommes penché sur la figure d'Élisabeth de ia Trinité, laquelle a vécu cette expérience spirituelle au cours de sa vie. Afin de nous aider dans la démarche de notre étude, nous avons élaboré trois niveaux d'analyse qui nous ont permis d'étudier diverses facettes de l'inhabitation trinitaire. Le niveau historique nous a permis de comprendre la genèse et le développement du phénomène, dans le temps, chez Élisabeth. Les apports et les structurations nous ont permis de jeter un regard plus global sur les diverses influences qui sont entrées en jeu dans la façon bien particulière d'Élisabeth de vivre l'inhabitation trinitaire. Enfin, le niveau théologique nous ouvre sur une synthèse active qui permet de mieux saisir toute la portée théologique et mystique de l'expérience de l'inhabitation trinitaire, telle qu'Élisabeth l'a vécue.
