Seine River Integrated Watershed Management Plan
The Seine River Integrated Watershed Management Plan encompasses the area of land which contributes water to the Seine River including other tributaries to the Red River such as Tourond Creek and the Manning Canal. The Seine-Rat River Conservation District is leading plan implementation in partnership with, the Provincial government and a team of supporting agencies, interest groups and watershed residents. |

It takes approximately two years to develop an integrated watershed management plan. The timeline on the right illustrates plan development progress. Once a plan is implemented the water planning authority can publish reports which track progress on achieving planning goals. Seine River Watershed Goals

In the development of an integrated watershed management plan the planning team invites a variety of groups to comment on issues important to them in the watershed. A summary of public comments can be found here once consultations have been held. If you are interested in commenting on land and water issues important to you in your watershed, click on the provide a comment tab, above.

The planning team asks technical experts and relevant stakeholder groups to provide information and issues about the watershed. A significant amount of valuable information is provided by:
Manitoba Sustainable Develpoment
Many other government departments, agencies and stakeholder groups.
- Agricultural Development, Soils and Beneficial Land Management Practices (from Environment and Climate Change and Agri-Food Canada and/or MB Environment and Climate Change, Food, and Rural Initiatives.)
- Parks, Environmental Licensing, and Wildlife (from Manitoba Conservation
- Geology (from Manitoba Innovation, Energy and Mines)
- Riparian and Habitat (from Manitoba Habitat Heritage Corporation)
Sometimes the technical information is summarized in a separate summary document, and sometimes technical information is summarized with the watershed plan.
Through a series of meetings with representatives from the Conservation District, and a broad range of technical and stakeholder representatives, a draft management plan is developed. Once this plan is reviewed by the public, the water planning authority and the Minister of Sustainable Develpoment, an approved plan is published and plan actions are implemented.
