Long Term Plans
Integrated Watershed Management Plan
The SRRCD has been approved as the Water Planning Authority to begin the process of developing an Integrated Watershed Management Plan for the Seine River Watershed.
Manitoba Water Stewardship is the main partner in this initiative. They, along with other provincial and federal government departments will provide technical and financial asssistance to the plan.
The Watershed Management Planning process will meet the requirements identified within the Water Protection Act, and will include a State of the Watershed Report, Watershed Health Report Card, and a Source Water Protection Stategy. A Watershed Planning Advisory Team (WPAT) comprised of local stakeholder representatives from rural municipalities, cities, academic institutions, agricultural organizations and other groups within the watershed, will be created and become part of the plannng process. The WPAT will assist with some of the tasks identified within the planning process, mainly to identify issues, challenges, and opportunities, and is an integral part of the overall success of the IWMP.
