The Manitoba Water Strategy - Government of Manitoba

• Record users and uses of ground water sources
in critical areas where the ground water is under
stress and where additional data is required to
address the sustainable limits.

Water Strategy and incorporate emerging issues.
• Provide programming to encourage and support
off-farm irrigation infrastructure.
• Incorporate water supply
issues into watershed
based planning.
• Co-ordinate efforts with
other jurisdictions to
ensure the sustainability of
our water supply.
• Help co-ordinate efforts
among First Nation,
municipal, provincial and
federal governments,
and other interested parties
to ensure the development,
reconstruction,
repair and maintenance
of water supply infrastructure
throughout the
province.

capabilities of the
Shellmouth Dam for the
