Monitoring aquatic ecosystems across Manitoba
CAMP Regions and Waterbodies
Monitoring under the Coordinated Aquatic Monitoring Program includes waterbodies located on Manitoba Hydro's hydraulic system (on-system) as well as select waterbodies that are not affected by Manitoba Hydro's operations (off-system). For the purposes of CAMP, the hydraulic system was divided into seven regions encompassing all of Manitoba Hydro's hydroelectric generation system.
Explore the regions and waterbodies monitored through CAMP below.
