East Interlake
​Watershed District

CONSERVING OUR LAND AND WATER TOGETHER

Picture
We offer a variety of programs and funding for projects that promote the health of the Interlake watershed. 
Picture
We have developed four Integrated Watershed Management Plans (IWMPs) that outline the actions needed to achieve sustainable, healthy watersheds.
Picture
We routinely test surface water quality and offer programs to test groundwater and stormwater quality.
Picture
We use Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) positioning in addition to Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) to assist with creating accurate maps to prioritize future conservation projects. 
Picture
We take every opportunity to foster knowledge and appreciation for our watershed!

ABOUT US

The East Interlake Watershed District (EIWD) is a grassroots organization dedicated to preserving and enhancing the natural environment in the Interlake. Our strong partnership with local governments and the province empowers us to make a difference. In 2023 we delivered over $1.2 million in funding to support projects that improve and maintain water and soil quality. From tree plantings and native grass restoration to wetland enhancement and regenerative agriculture practices like cover cropping and cattle integration, we’re committed to sustainable solutions. Got a project in mind? Reach out to us!
 
Watershed districts are organized based on watershed boundaries. A watershed is simply the land that water flows across or through on its way to a common stream, river, or lake. A watershed can be very large (e.g. the Lake Winnipeg watershed drains 953 250 km2), or very small, such as a 20-acre watershed that drains to a pond. A small watershed that nests inside of a larger watershed is sometimes referred to as a subwatershed or subbasin.
 
The EIWD contains four subwatersheds of the Lake Winnipeg watershed; two which flow into the Red River, and two which flow into the south basin of Lake Winnipeg. These subwatersheds also delineate the boundaries of EIWD subdistricts. Each EIWD subdistrict maintains a board of representatives who make decisions about the land and water resources within their watershed.​
