Water Budget and Water Quantity Stress Assessment
This report is an analysis of how much water is available within the boundaries of the Lakehead Source Protection Area. Water quantity is measured and characterized by the influences of the water cycle including precipitation, runoff and evaporation. The Water Budget provides an understanding of how water is connected as it moves through a watershed.
