Water Conservation Drives Winnipeg River Basin Plan
Water conservation is vital to Manitoba's economy and safety. A watershed based system aims to control flood risks, erosion, and soil loss by guiding river and reservoir projects such as Rivers, Neepawa, Deloraine, Stephenfield, Souris, Assiniboine, Shellmouth, and Portage diversions. Local Watershed Conservation Districts enable community led planning with provincial support.

Manitoba engineers warn mis management of water and land resources endangers towns and farms. Watershed districts, under the 1959 act, unite municipalities for coordinated control. Formation of districts like Whitemud River area and Tobacco Creek is urged to protect soil and water for future generations.
