This database contains lines and polygons showing the locations of provincial waterways, such as drains, dikes, diversions, detention basins, floodways, dams and reservoirs. This dataset was created by digitizing high-resolution imagery of the water features and by digitizing the titled Water Control Work plans associated with the features for drains which have been designated as provincial waterways by Order-in-Council.
This dataset was created to provide a record of the designated Provincial Waterways in Manitoba and was intended for use in administering Provincial Waterways Authorizations. Provincial Waterways are designated by Order-in-Council and are under the administration and control of Manitoba Infrastructure (MI) through the Water Resource Administration Act.
