Summary

The purpose of this dataset is to provide the public with the areal extents of the 14 watershed districts within the Province of Manitoba.

Description

Manitoba’s Watershed Districts Program (previously Conservation Districts) is one of the most successful land and water conservation partnerships in Canada. The Watershed Districts Act, proclaimed on January 1, 2020, transitioned 18 conservation districts to 14 watershed districts with boundaries based on watersheds. The program has also been modernized to enhance watershed-based water management in Manitoba.

Manitoba's Watershed Districts Program creates healthy and sustainable watersheds through land and water stewardship programs and partnerships. With funding from the Manitoba government and partnering municipalities, locally-appointed watershed district boards make planning and management decisions to improve watershed health across most of municipal Manitoba.
