About the Challenge
Presented in partnership with IBM and Ottawa Riverkeeper/Sentinelle Outaouais, the first edition, AquaHacking 2015, was dedicated to the preservation of the Ottawa River. As the main tributary of the St. Lawrence River, the Ottawa River watershed serves more than 200 municipalities and numerous First Nations communities, and is the source of drinking water for more than 2 million people. At 1,272 km, it is the 13th longest river in North America.
