Flood Forecasting Data & Resources

Water Survey of Canada maintains streamflow recording stations located throughout the watershed. These stream gauges are part of a monitoring network, managed by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry and Environment and Climate Change Canada, on behalf of other interested parties, including conservation authorities. The information from the stream gauge recorders allows Long Point Region Conservation Authority staff to monitor the progress of runoff events throughout the watershed to assist with both its flood forecasting and warning and low water response programs.

LPRCA also collects and logs additional weather data throughout the watershed. A portion of this data, sorted by collection location, is presented through charts on this page.
