Water conservation is vital to protect soil, homes, and farms from floods. Manitoba programs advance watershed plans with rivers and reservoirs like Rivers, Neepawa, Deloraine, Stephenfield, Souris, Assiniboine, Shellmouth, and Portage to serve Red and Assiniboine basins. Local Watershed Conservation Districts Act enables district formation with provincial support, aiming for Water for Tomorrow.
