<div style='text-align:Left;'><p><a href='https://web2.gov.mb.ca/laws/statutes/ccsm/_pdf.php?cap=w95' rel='nofollow ugc' target='_blank'>The Watershed Districts Act</a><span>, proclaimed on
January 1, 2020, transitioned 18 conservation districts to 14 watershed
districts, with boundaries based on watersheds. Along with this change, the
Manitoba Conservation Districts Program was renamed the Manitoba Watershed
Districts Program, and the program was modernized to enhance watershed-based
water management in Manitoba.</span></p><p>
</p><p><span>The goal of the program is to create
healthy and sustainable watersheds through land and water stewardship programs
and partnerships. With funding from the Manitoba government and municipal
partners, locally-appointed watershed district boards make planning and
management decisions to improve watershed health across most of rural Manitoba.</span></p><p><u><span style='font-size:11.5pt; font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;'>Fields included</span></u><span style='font-family:Arial, sans-serif;'> (</span><b><span style='font-size:11.5pt; font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;'>Alias</span></b><span style='font-family:Arial, sans-serif;'> (Field Name): Field description.)</span><br /></p><p style='margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; background-image:initial; background-position:initial; background-size:initial; background-repeat:initial; background-attachment:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial;'><span style='font-size:11.5pt; font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;'></span></p><p style='margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; background-image:initial; background-position:initial; background-size:initial; background-repeat:initial; background-attachment:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial;'><b><span style='font-size:11.5pt; font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;'>FID</span></b><span style='font-size:11.5pt; font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;'> (FID): Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated</span></p><p style='margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; background-image:initial; background-position:initial; background-size:initial; background-repeat:initial; background-attachment:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial;'><b><span style='font-size:11.5pt; font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;'>Watershed District Name</span></b><span style='font-size:11.5pt; font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;'> (WSD_Name): </span>Name of the Watershed District</p><p style='margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; background-image:initial; background-position:initial; background-size:initial; background-repeat:initial; background-attachment:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial;'><b>Area_SqKm<span style='font-size:11.5pt; font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;'> </span></b><span style='font-size:11.5pt; font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;'>(</span>Area_SqKm<span style='font-size:11.5pt; font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;'>): </span>Area in square kilometres of the watershed district</p></div>
