    The "AAFC Annual Unit Runoff in Canada - 2013" report aims to illustrate runoff trends across the country by calculating annual unit runoff for a variety of probabilities of exceedence commonly used by decision makers. Annual unit runoff is a measure of runoff volume per square kilometre. It includes a point data set for the hydrologic stations that were analyzed and seven sets of linework to show the adjusted isolines for 10%, 25%, 50%, 70%, 75%, 80%, and 90% probability of exceedence. It is an update and expansion of the work completed in the 1994 report "Annual Unit Runoff on the Canadian Prairies".

    Companies or organizations who take over 50,000 litres of water/day from a lake, river, stream or groundwater source, must obtain a Permit to Take Water from the Ministry of the Environment -with a few exceptions. Permit holders are legally required to record how much water they take each day. Data includes: * purpose * location * water source (e.g., ground or surface) * maximum amount allowed per day * permit number * expiry date of the permit [Permitted water-taking map](https://www.ontario.ca/page/map-permits-take-water) [Create a map for a water-taking application](https://www.ontario.ca/page/create-map-permit-take-water-application)

    Volumes of water taken daily and annually under a Permit-to-Take-Water, as reported to the ministry under the Water Taking and Transfer Regulation 387/04. The Ontario Water Resources Act (Act) requires anyone who takes more than 50,000 litres of water in a day to obtain a Permit to take Water (PTTW) with some exceptions. Under the Act, the Water Taking and Transfer Regulation requires all holders of a PTTW to report the volume of water taken at each permitted source for each day of water taking. The data includes information from the permit on the purpose of the water taking, water source types and locations, as well as the daily and annual volume of water taken from each source.

    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.
