Regional Water Resources Studies

Regional water resources studies have been completed for the Island portion of the province during two time periods. In 1968 a study was completed for some regions and between 1987 and 1993 studies were completed for all of the Island.

These studies provide background information to assist in water planning and management activities.

The information below consists of 531Mb of data with approximately 30 Adobe pdf, Jpg, and Tif files. These files contain scanned reports and associated maps and figures. Some map files can be quite large as the original maps were 60cmx90cm or larger.
