Swan Creek Watershed Riparian and Habitat Assessment
This article was added Apr 27, 2012 9:30 AMThe West Interlake Watershed Conservation District (WIWCD), with the assistance from the Manitoba Fisheries Enhancement Fund (FEF), initiated this assessment to gain a better understanding of issues potentially effecting water quality, in-stream habitat, and the riparian health of the tributaries and drains found within the Swan Creek Watershed.
The WIWCD’s goal is to design an integrated watershed management plan, in cooperation with all municipalities and area residents, to improve the function of each watershed within the conservation district. The WIWCD encourages sustainable development practices to assist in creating a healthy watershed, ultimately benefiting all user-groups.
The primary objective of this project was to provide a comprehensive overview of the riparian zone and aquatic habitat conditions found within the Swan Creek Watershed. The assessment was to identify areas within the watershed in need of habitat protection, rehabilitation or enhancement. Furthermore, the project will enhance measures in developing a watershed management plan to improve water quality and provide a foundation for understanding the state of the fishery and riparian conditions within the Swan Creek Watershed.
