Water Budget

A water budget quantifies the inputs, outputs and flows of water through our watershed region.

A chapter of the Proposed Assessment Report presents a summarized version of the water budget for each Source Protection Area.

Chapter 3 - Saugeen Valley Source Protection Area

Chapter 3 - Grey Sauble Source Protection Area

Chapter 3 - Northern Bruce Peninsula Source Protection Area
