  • Agricultural Climate of Manitoba (Opens in a new Window)

    The Agricultural Climate of Manitoba database contains a series of maps describing the agricultural climate(s) of Manitoba, based on historical observations across the 60 year period from 1929 to 1988. Maps are available on under two themes: heat (e.g.. Frost free length, accumulation of growing degree days) and moisture (with respect to alfalfa, spring wheat, and corn). Data are available in mapped formats.

    Agriculture Water Demand Model (Opens in a new Window)

    The Agriculture Water Demand Model (AWDM) calculates current water requirements for agriculture using crop, soil, irrigation system type, and historical climate data, as well as future water requirements using projected climate change scenarios. The climate data layer has been developed for the entire Province of BC on 500 metre by 500 metre grid cells. The water demand results help municipalities to develop dedicated agriculture water that the Water Sustainability Act (WSA) supports. The BC Ministry of Agriculture has continued to collaborate with partners to expand the AWDM to other regions of the province, with complete coverage expected by 2021. Text reports are available for download for a variety of regions within BC
