We developed several reports during the source protection planning process under the Clean Water Act, 2006, and its regulations. These included a Terms of Reference, a watershed characterization report and others.
Terms of Reference |
The Terms of Reference were developed early in the source protection planning process. It was the work plan for the Lake Erie Region Source Protection Committee and source protection staff. It outlined the water systems to be studied, scientific studies needed, and who would complete them. |
Watershed characterization report |
The characterization report is a summary of the current state of the watershed. It has information on the watershed's physical characteristics, land use, population and growth, water systems, water sources, water quality, vulnerable areas and other matters. |
Water budget studies |
The water budget shows how much water enters the watershed, how it moves through the watershed and how much leaves (e.g. by evaporation or flowing into Lake Erie). These reports show areas within the watershed where water demand could be high compared to the amount of water available.

Water quality and water use reports |
Population forecasts |
This report provides population and employment projections to 2056. This information forecasts water demand. |
