Northeast Water Tool

The Northeast Water Tool (NEWT) is a point-and-click tool that helps scientists, industry explorers, communities and government decision-makers to understand accurate, real-time information about water resources in British Columbia.

How to Use:

Watershed Reporting

Click on a stream, lake, or river to see the watershed associated with that water feature and generate a detailed report about it, describing water supply, demand, environmental flow needs, and other watershed characteristics. Map markers show the location of existing water allocations, which can be clicked on for further details.

Groundwater Review Assistant

Multiple sources of information have been assembled to provide a comprehensive summary of groundwater knowledge for user defined areas. Define your area of interest on the map or by uploading a data file, and receive a report describing what’s known about that area in a few seconds.

Cumulative Diversion Analysis

Streamflow can be highly variable. Understanding this variability is an important part of both managing ecosystem impacts, and ensuring a reliable water supply for use. This module allows for a new proposed diversion of water to be evaluated at any location on a stream or river, placing both the total and instantaneous demand over a given time period, in the context of natural variability and existing senior water rights.
