  • Lakes and Rivers (Opens in a new Window)

    The Water Security Agency's Lakes and Rivers Site provides near real-time stream flow and water levels for watersheds across Saskatchewan, regularly updated reports on water supply conditions and outlook, as well as a ten-day forecast for the Saskatchewan River System. Stream flow data observed at monitoring stations across the province are provided in graphical format. Reports provide static provincial and national maps of variables relevant to water supply.

    Monthly Temperature and Precipitation Delta Maps (Opens in a new Window)

    Monthly Temperature and Precipitation Delta Maps were produced from an ensemble of 12 global climate models supplied by the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium. These delta (change) maps show the difference between current climate conditions and projected, future climate conditions. Two 30-year future periods (2021-2050 and 2051-2080) were used with the current period set to 1976-2005. Future data are available as gridded data.

    NeraCoos Data (Opens in a new Window)

    NeraCoos Data contains data products and tools summarizing eastern buoy, station, and forecasts data. Historical and future data are available as point data. Climate variables include wind speed, wind gust, air temperature, water temperature at varying depths, and air temperature; they are updated from each station and users can compare stations. Forecasts of coastal flooding and erosion, and 48-hour wave and wind are also available.

    PLAN2ADAPT (Opens in a new Window)

    The Plan2Adapt tool generates maps, plots, and data describing projected future climate conditions for regions throughout British Columbia. It is designed to help assess climate change in regions of BC based on a standard set of climate model projections. Climate variables include temperature, precipitation, snowfall, and growing and heating degree days. Impacts of change in these climate variables are also discussed. Data can be explored based on regional districts, health authority boundaries, ecoprovinces, and forestry regions over three time periods (2020s, 2050s, and 2080s), seasonally and annually.

    Station Hydrologic Model Output (Opens in a new Window)

    The Station Hydrologic Model Output page contains simulated streamflow data for locations throughout British Columbia. Users can select locations of interest on an interactive gridded map, or search by Station ID or name. The simulated data include daily streamflow time series for over 120 sites located in the Peace, Upper Columbia, Fraser, and Campbell River watersheds. Station data are available for download in ASCII format.

    Statistically Downscaled Climate Scenarios (Opens in a new Window)

    Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium (PCIC) offers statistically downscaled daily Canada-wide climate scenarios, at a gridded resolution of 300 arc-seconds (0.0833 degrees, or roughly 6 km x 10 km) for the period 1950-2100. The variables available include daily minimum temperature, maximum temperature, and precipitation. Users may access the scenarios using an interactive map interface that allows users to zoom, pan and select their region of interest using a rectangular-selection tool. Downscaled climate data is available for over 10 models under Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 2.6, 4.5, and 8.5. Data are available for download in NetCDF, ASCII, and Arc formats.

    Water Information and Flood Conditions (Opens in a new Window)

    Manitoba Flood Forecasting presents Flood Forecasts and Reports, River Levels/Flow Plots, Forecast Information Maps, Lakes Information, and maps. Forecast Information is available in an interactive map that displays flood forecasts at various stations across Manitoba. Flood sheets, which are issued during the spring runoff period or summer rain period, are updated daily and show the flow at a particular station, and its deviations from the forecasted peak. Data are available in mapped, tabular, and various other formats.
