The Sévère-René River is a tributary on the west bank of the Nicolet Southwest River. It crosses the municipalities of Saint-Zéphirin-de-Courval and La Visitation-de-Yamaska, in the Nicolet-Yamaska Regional County Municipality (MRC), in the administrative region from Centre-du-Québec, to Quebec, to Canada.
The main neighboring hydrographic slopes of the Sévère-René river are:
The Sévère-René river takes its sources from agricultural streams, located in an area northwest of rang Saint-Alexandre road and northeast of rang Saint-François road, in the municipality of Saint-Zéphirin-de-Courval. Its source begins at the confluence of the Rousseau-Leclerc and Dionne-Leclerc rivers.
From its head area, the Sévère-René river flows north for four km, first in Saint-Zéphirin-de-Courval, then in La Visitation-de-Yamaska. Along its course, it collects water from the Houle-Lemaire landfill and crosses the road to rang Sainte-Geneviève and the road to rang Chatillon.
The Sévère-René river flows on the west bank of the Nicolet Southwest River, at downstream from Provencher Island, upstream from the confluence of the Saint-Zéphirin River and at upstream from the confluence of the Nicolet Southwest River with the Nicolet River.[1]
The toponym "Rivière Sévère-René" was made official on December 5, 1968, at the Commission de toponymie du Québec.[2]
