This app shows short-term (1-month), medium-term (3-month) and long-term (12-month) precipitation conditions for Manitoba. This app shows precipitation conditions for Manitoba. Precipitation conditions maps are developed to determine the severity of meteorological dryness and are also an indirect measurement of agricultural dryness. Precipitation indicators are calculated at over 40 locations by comparing total precipitation over the time period to long-term (1971 – 2015) medians. Three different time periods are used to represent: (1) short-term conditions (the past one month), (2) medium-term conditions (the past three months), and (3) long-term conditions (the past twelve months). These 1-month, 3-month, and 12-month indicator values are then interpolated across the province to produce the layers in this web map.Long-term and medium-term precipitation indicators provide the most appropriate assessment of dryness as the short term indicator is influenced by significant rainfall events and spatial variability in rainfall, particularly during summer storms. Due to large distances between meteorological stations in northern Manitoba, the interpolated contours in this region are based on limited observations and should be interpreted with caution.Precipitation data is obtained from Environment and Climate Change Canada, Manitoba Agriculture, and Manitoba Sustainable Development's Fire Program.Pop-ups include the following information:Precipitation Indicator NameDate: Precipitation conditions correspond to the specified date.Class: Precipitation class. Precipitation conditions classified as follows:Per cent of median greater than 115 per cent is classified as “above normal”. Per cent of median between 85 per cent and 115 per cent is classified as “normal”. Per cent of median between 60 per cent and 85 per cent is classified as “moderately dry”. Per cent of median between 40 per cent and 60 per cent is classified as “severely dry”. Per cent of median less than 40 per cent is classified as “extremely dry”.For more information, please visit the Manitoba Drought Monitor website.

The Saskatchewan Digital Land Cover was created to be used in the interim. The National Land Cover Project plans to integrate land cover information compiled by Natural Resources Canada, Canadian Forest Service, and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. The Saskatchewan Digital Land Cover raster provides a seamless provincial coverage of the province and was created by combining the Saskatchewan Research Council's Northern Digital Land Cover (NDLC) with the Southern Digital Land Cover (SDLC). With exception to the SDLC's value 2 (i.e. Hay Crops) and value 3 (i.e. Native Dominant Grass Lands), the NDLC takes precedence over the SDLC in areas that the two rasters overlap because the NDLC is more current than the dated SDLC. The SDLC's values 2 and 3 were preserved because these land covers are not specifically represented in the NDLC. For the purpose of this dataset, some of the SDLC and NDLC values were reclassified to new values to reconcile varying definitions. It should also be noted that because the NDLC's 30 x 30 metre pixels do not align with the SDLC's 30 x 30 metre pixels, this raster was snapped to the NDLC. Last, as is with the SDLC and the NDLC, the extent of this raster does not extend all of the way to the Saskatchewan boundary, specifically, the Information Services Corporation's SaskGIS Provincial Boundary dataset, in numerous areas along the west, south and southeast borders: There are gaps of up to 500 m wide of "no data" between the provincial boundary and the raster along these areas of the Saskatchewan boundary.

Canada’s forests are managed for multiple objectives with varying degrees of management intensity. Governments, forest companies, Indigenous Peoples, communities and stakeholders are all engaged in the forest management planning process. Management objectives and the plans developed by professional foresters to achieve those objectives differ from place to place. People often group Canada’s forests into two categories: the managed forest and the unmanaged forest. Sometimes this type of classification is helpful, but the reality is far more complex and interesting. This interactive Story Map presents information on land designations, ownerships, tenures and protection statuses to provide a comprehensive picture of the geography of forest management in Canada. This story map has been updated from an earlier 2017 version to show land designations in 2020.

The Ontario Watershed Information Tool (OWIT) is used to calculate information about Ontario’s watersheds. Watersheds are areas of land where surface water converges to a single point. Water professionals in the public and private sectors and academia use OWIT to better understand water flow in Ontario. The general public use OWIT for educational or general interest purposes. You can use the tool to: * create a map of a watershed * characterize the watershed * extract land cover information
