 Stay tuned, while we are still developing the early version of our Water Maps section, there are lots of new mapping features and applications in the works and scheduled for release.
Through our partnerships, we are working to provide a comprehensive, mapping and search tool linked to some of the most exciting and relevant water data available today.
Global Water Maps
While we are developing our Water Maps webpage, please feel free to use these excellent global water maps from the:
Alberta: Maps and Data Summaries
(Alberta Environment and Agriculture and Rural Development)
Alberta's River Basins
Advisories & Warnings, Forecaster's Comments, River Ice Reports, Water Supply Outlook, Maps and Data Summaries, and FAQ's for each of Alberta's major river basins.
Maps: Alberta's WPAC's and River Basins
Detailed maps for each of Alberta's WPAC's and major river basins, including an assessment of potential water storage sites and diversion scenarios.
Alberta: WPAC Watersheds - An Interactive Map
A .pdf and interactive map of ten Alberta Watershed Planning and Advisory Councils (WPACs) ...with web links back to each WPAC website (Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada).
AgroClimatic Information Service (ACIS)
ACIS is supported by Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development an interactive tool that provides weather forecasts, current and historic maps, and access weather data received from more than 270 weather stations in and around Alberta. This service was developed to describe Alberta's weather, climate and related agriculture features to help with your long-term planning and decision-making throughout the year.
Throiugh ACIS, you can navigate directly to the viewers by clicking the links below.

Weather Forecasts. View seven day forecasts or several locations as issued by Enviornment Canada. |
 |
ACIS Maps. View maps describing precipitation patterns as far back as 1961. Includes total accumulations, extreme occurences, percent of average and frequency of occurence. Also included are maps of soil moisture, temperature, drought indicies, snow packs and more. Over 30 maps are added each week, tracking current conditions. |
 |
Station Data. Graph, compare and download quality controlled data in near-real-time for more than 270 stations dating back to April 2005. Also included are other data sets like precipation and temperature normals, temperature extremes, growing degree days, corn heat units and more. |
 |
RSS Data Feeds. Subscribe to the RSS feed and receive and update live quality controlled data feeds from more than 270 stations with hourly and daily weather data from a wide variety of elements like precipitation, temperature, humidity, solar radition, wind speed, soil moisture and soil temperature. |
Precipitation Maps
Updated Daily/Weekly/Monthly Precipitation maps show current accumulated precipatation reports for daily, weekly, monthly, and storm events as well as archives.
Provincial Air Temperature Summary
Provincial Air Temperature Summary Report provides a overview of current air temperatures by river basin, as well as maximum and minimum air temperatures from yesterday to current values.
Environmentally Sensitive Areas
The following document provides an update of the Environmentally Significant Areas (ESAs) of Alberta including data and map for the province.
Provincial Reservoir Storage Summary
Report provides an overview of current reservoir storage conditions by river basin, as well as current capacity as a percent of average and a comparison to last year’s value.
Provincial Natural Flow Summary
Provincial Natural Flow Summary Report provides daily natural flow forecasts for various locations in the Bow, Oldman, Red Deer and South Saskatchewan River Basins.
Canada: Water Maps and Data Summaries
Agriculture Canada
The National Land and Water Information Service provides access to Web sites and tools dealing with land, soil, water, climate and biodiversity resources in Canada.
Environment Canada
In this section, find information on water maps, water management, and environment-related water issues over which Environment Canada has jurisdiction.
Natural Resources Canada
Supports "The Atlas of Canada" which has several Water Maps of Canada...even maps for recreational activities like swimming and beach activity, canoeing, kayaking and sailing, power boating and recreational fishing.
US Geological Service: Water Maps
Real Time Streamflow Maps
Maps and graphs of current (real-time, daily, weekly) USGS streamflow imformation, including floods and drought. The "Real-time streamflow" map tracks short-term changes (over several hours) in rivers and streams. Although the general appearance of the map changes very little from one hour to the next, individual sites may change rapidly in response to major rain events or to reservoir releases.
U.S. Water Monitor (precipitation maps)
The maps available here present maps for streamflow, reservoirs, groundwater, precipitation forecasts and snow levels by state.
Water Use (choropleth maps)
The maps available here are thematic maps called "choropleth maps" that show water use in the U.S.A, by state. They use different colors to represent different ranges of data values.
Other Water Maps
