LOWER WINNIPEG RIVER BASIN DISCUSSION SHEET

The document is a map-based fact sheet detailing the geographic, ecological, and socio-economic characteristics of the lower Winnipeg River basin (LWRB) and the broader Winnipeg River basin (WRB) in Manitoba, Ontario, and Minnesota. It includes data on land cover, surficial geology, zoning policies, Indigenous presence, and drinking water advisories.

• The entire Winnipeg River basin (WRB) covers an area of 136,840 km2 and spans parts of western Ontario, northern Minnesota in the United States, and small parts of Manitoba. The lower Winnipeg River basin (LWRB) is a subset of this area, covering 4,650 km2.
• The document maps various land management and zoning policies within the LWRB, including Protected Areas, Provincial Parks, Provincial Forests, Wildlife Management Areas, Aboriginal Land, and Resource Development Zones.
• The fact sheet includes a map of drinking water advisories for the Manitoba portion of the Winnipeg River basin as of November 2018 and May 8, 2020, categorizing advisories by system type, such as municipal and community water systems, small private water systems, and semi-public facilities.
