All Real Time Water Resources Data and Web Cameras
In 1975, the Government of Canada represented by the Minister of Environment and the Government of Province of Newfoundland and Labrador represented by the Minister of Environment signed a co-operative cost-shared agreement for water quantity surveys. The purpose of this agreement is to secure coordinated and standardized basic data to facilitate resource planning and management in general and the design and implementation of projects related to navigation, hydro-electric development, irrigation, drainage, flood control, recreation, domestic and industrial water supply and other purposes.
This cost shared agreement has allowed two levels of government to work cooperatively in the area of water quantity surveys.
A total of 65 stations are currently operated under the agreement. Of these 65 stations, 18 are designated as federal, 31 as federal-provincial and 16 as provincial. Sixty of these station provide coverage for the Island and the remaining five for Labrador. Twenty-Two additional stations are also operated under agreements with various agencies, mainly hydro and mining companies.
An additional fourteen contributing stations are operated by hydro and power companies. These are regulated stations and are used for the operation of hydro power plant reservoirs.
All stations are equipped with digital data loggers and satellite transmission, and provide real time data.
The Department of Municipal Affairs and Environment has developed and maintains a software (ADRS – Automatic Data Retrieval System) to access real time data.
