Manitoba Drainage Basins
Drainage basins of Manitoba.Hydrologic drainage basins found within Manitoba. The Assiniboine River basin is divided to indicate the Shellmouth Reservoir subbasin, to better illustrate local impacts and conditions. Basin names are in English and French.
Community Watersheds - Cancelled
This 1:20,000. scale inventory contains digital maps of cancelled community watershed boundaries. The watershed boundaries showed the location of watersheds that supply communities with domestic water. These are meant to be used in conjunction with stream network map coverages from TRIM mapping. Attribute data for community watersheds can be downloaded into a spreadsheet or database
Freshwater Atlas Assessment Watersheds
Assessment Watersheds are mesoscale aquatic units designed to replace the 3rd order 1:50K watersheds. Assessment Watersheds are based on groupings of fundamental watersheds using FWA watershed code and local code, with a target size of between 2,000ha and 10,000ha.
Hydrology: Hydrometric Watershed Boundaries (Historical)
Watershed boundary delineated for Canada-BC hydrometric stations. Currently, watersheds were delineated using 1:50,000 scale boundaries in 1996, and many watersheds encompass entire drainages, instead of just the upstream watersheds. Note - Not yet available, but we are in the process of generating BC hydrometric station upstream watersheds using updated base data, using the following method: Within BC, watershed boundaries are based on the 1:20,000-scale Freshwater Atlas fundamental watersheds, and trimmed using the BC TRIM DEM used to approximate the height-of-land at the station locations. Outside of BC, but within Canada, watershed boundaries were approximated using Canada CDED DEM data for delineation (no "stream burning" was used) and some manual editing of boundaries was done to approximately match hydrology data after the fact. Within U.S.A., the USGS Watershed Boundary Dataset was used (at the best scale available for each drainage) to delineate the watershed boundary, with the watershed trimmed using the USGS National Elevation Dataset to approximate the height-of-land when necessary.
Freshwater Atlas Watersheds
All fundamental watershed polygons generated from watershed boundary lines, bank edges, delimiter edges, coastline edges, and administrative boundary edges
FADM - Region Compartment
The spatial representation for an Inventory Region or Compartment. Established by the Resource Inventory Branch, Inventory Regions are large drainages encompassing groups of small drainages also known as compartments. These were once used for planning purposes, similar to the current Planning Cells. They are now maintained in the files as reference for many administration boundaries
Mineral Occurrences - 250k
The Yukon Territory is underlain by a great variety of rock types ranging in age from Early Proterozoic to Recent and representing diverse environments including epicratonic basins, subsiding shelves, foreland basins, island arcs and deep ocean basins. Episodes of compressional and extensional deformation, transcurrent faulting, metamorphism and plutonism further complicate the map pattern. This complex geological record has been described in terms of the interactions of several terranes (large parts of the earth's crust which preserve a common geological record) with each other and with the margin of ancestral North America.Distributed from [GeoYukon](https://yukon.ca/geoyukon) by the [Government of Yukon](https://yukon.ca/maps) .

Forecasted Basin-Average Accumulated Precipitation (GDPS - 168 hrs / 240 hrs)
This polygon layer presents 7‑day and 10‑day accumulated precipitation forecasts from the Global Deterministic Prediction System (GDPS), aggregated by sub-basin. It is designed to help hydrologists, water resource managers, and emergency planners pinpoint watersheds facing higher rainfall or snowfall totals in the medium-to-long range, enabling proactive flood risk assessment, drought monitoring, and resource allocation.Developed by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), the GDPS is a global numerical weather prediction model running at approximately 15km resolution, updated twice daily (00Z and 12Z). This layer integrates 168-hour (7‑day) and 240-hour (10‑day) precipitation forecasts into sub-basin polygons, offering a comprehensive view of expected cumulative precipitation. By focusing on watershed boundaries, decision-makers can quickly gauge regional vulnerabilities to prolonged rainfall or snowfall events.Key highlights: Global Model Insight: Captures large-scale, multi-day weather systems (e.g., atmospheric rivers, persistent low-pressure systems). Sub-Basin Aggregation: Delivers averaged precip values per basin, simplifying hydrological analysis for flood or drought outlooks. Extended Outlook: Spanning from day 0 to day 10, covers both medium- and longer-term forecast horizons, essential for strategic planning and mitigation efforts. Typical Uses:Flood Forecasting – Identifying basins prone to heavy or prolonged precipitation. Water Resource Management – Adjusting reservoir release schedules or irrigation planning based on expected accumulations. Emergency Preparedness – Deploying resources or issuing advisories in vulnerable watersheds.
Watershed Districts
The purpose of this dataset is to provide the public with the areal extents of the 14 watershed districts in Manitoba.The Watershed Districts Act , proclaimed on January 1, 2020, transitioned 18 conservation districts to 14 watershed districts, with boundaries based on watersheds. Along with this change, the Manitoba Conservation Districts Program was renamed the Manitoba Watershed Districts Program, and the program was modernized to enhance watershed-based water management in Manitoba. The goal of the program is to create healthy and sustainable watersheds through land and water stewardship programs and partnerships. With funding from the Manitoba government and municipal partners, locally-appointed watershed district boards make planning and management decisions to improve watershed health across most of rural Manitoba. Fields included ( Alias (Field Name): Field description.)FID (FID): Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generatedWatershed District Name (WSD_Name): Name of the Watershed DistrictArea_SqKm (Area_SqKm): Area in square kilometres of the watershed district
