Английская Википедия:Bras Sec
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox river The bras Sec (English: Dry Arm) is a tributary of the rivière du Moulin, flowing in the unorganized territory of Lac-Ministuk, in the Le Fjord-du-Saguenay Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, in the province of Quebec, in Canada. The course of the Sec arm crosses the northwest part of the zec Mars-Moulin.
The small valley of the Bras Sec is served by a few secondary forest roads, especially for forestry and recreational tourism activities.[1]
Forestry is the main economic activity in this valley; recreational tourism, second.
The surface of the Dry arm is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally done from mid-December to mid-March.

Le Bras Sec rises at the mouth of Lake Catellier (length: Шаблон:Convert; altitude: Шаблон:Convert) in a forest area in the zec Mars-Moulin. This landlocked lake between the mountains is located at the southwestern limit of the zec Mars-Moulin, that is to say:
- Шаблон:Convert north of the forest road R0287;
- Шаблон:Convert west of the course of the rivière du Moulin;
- Шаблон:Convert north-east of the course of the Cyriac River;
- Шаблон:Convert north-east of a curve on route 175;
- Шаблон:Convert south-west of the confluence of Bras Sec and rivière du Moulin;
- Шаблон:Convert north-east of the course of the Pikauba River.[2]
From Lac Catellier, the Bras Sec flows over Шаблон:Convert with a drop of Шаблон:Convert entirely in the forest zone, according to the following segments:
Upper course of the Bras Sec (segment of Шаблон:Convert)
- Шаблон:Convert to the north, bending slightly to the east to go around a mountain, to a stream (coming from the west);
- Шаблон:Convert making a difference in height from Шаблон:Convert first to a bend in the river, then bending towards the northeast, to a stream (coming from the South);
- Шаблон:Convert north-west passing west of a mountain and past a forest camp, to a stream (coming from the west);
- Шаблон:Convert towards the north by making a detour towards the west to go around a mountain whose summit reaches Шаблон:Convert, up to a bend of the river, corresponding to a stream (coming from the south);
- Шаблон:Convert north, to a stream (coming from the west);
Lower course of the Bras Se (segment of Шаблон:Convert)
- Шаблон:Convert eastward, to the outlet (coming from the north) of Le Grand Lac, lac à la Tripe and lac Vénus;
- Шаблон:Convert south-east, until a discharge (coming from the south-west) from a stream;
- Шаблон:Convert towards the south-east by collecting two streams, to its mouth.[2]
The Sec arm flows into a bend in the west bank of the rivière du Moulin, near (west side) of Coupau lake. This confluence is located at:
- Шаблон:Convert west of the course of the rivière à Mars;
- Шаблон:Convert east of the Cyriac River;
- Шаблон:Convert north-east of route 175;
- Шаблон:Convert north of the boundary of the administrative regions of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean (MRC Le Fjord-du-Saguenay Regional County Municipality and Capitale-Nationale (MRC Charlevoix Regional County Municipality);
- Шаблон:Convert south-east of the confluence of the rivière du Moulin and the Saguenay River in the sector Chicoutimi of the city of Saguenay.[2]
From the mouth of the Sec arm, the current successively follows the course of the rivière du Moulin on Шаблон:Convert generally north, then the course from the Saguenay River on Шаблон:Convert eastwards to Tadoussac where it merges with the Saint Lawrence Estuary.[2]
