a healthy watershed and sustainable lifestyle for current and future generations.
The Central Assiniboine Watershed District (CAWD) has evolved from its beginnings as the Tiger Hills Conservation District, expanding over time through partnerships with local municipalities and the Province of Manitoba. In 2020, following the introduction of the Watershed Districts Act, the organization transitioned to a watershed-based model and adopted its current name. Today, CAWD supports a broad region encompassing numerous Manitoba municipalities, with a renewed focus on flood and drought management, water quality, and collaborative watershed stewardship—including partnerships with Indigenous nations and non-municipal groups.
The Central Assiniboine Watershed District (CAWD) is a grassroots organization led by a municipal-appointed board and a staff of watershed-focused land management professionals.
CAWD works with local farmers, governments, conservation and agricultural groups to improve soil and water management in the CAWD by designing and offering programs that are delivered by farms on their farm lands.
CAWD envisions a future where communities, agriculture and the environment are healthy, sustainable and in balance with one and other.
In partnership with the City of Brandon
A rain garden is a shallow, landscaped area designed to collect and absorb rainwater runoff from impervious surfaces like roofs and driveways. By filtering stormwater through soil and plants, rain gardens reduce flooding, improve water quality, and support local biodiversity.
At the Central Assiniboine Watershed District, we implement rain gardens in partnership with municipalities and residents to promote sustainable water management and protect our watershed.
The Central Assiniboine and Lower Souris River integrated watershed management plan encompasses the area of land that contributes water to the Assiniboine River including tributaries such as the Souris River, Cypress River and Oak Creek.
Integrated Watershed Management Planning (IWMP) is a collaborative approach that brings together watershed residents, governments, and stakeholders to develop long-term strategies for managing land, water, and related resources within a watershed.
The foundation of our work lies in supporting those directly connected to the land.
