Water Forecasting Platform Soon to be Launched for the Pembina River Valley


Aquanty is proud to announce that we’re launching a new project in partnership with the Pembina Valley Watershed District (PVWD) and Manitoba Forage and Grassland Association (MFGA) to launch a new hydrologic forecasting platform for the Pembina River Valley.

This new Pembina Valley project will represent the second major water forecasting platform for MFGA. Both forecasting tools will be hosted on the MFGA website, and will be constructed and maintained by Aquanty.

The first forecasting platform for the MFGA (i.e. the Assiniboine River Basin) is slated for launch in less than a month, you can see a preview of the features and capabilities in the video below. The platform will provide hydrologic forecasts integrating soil moisture data, ground water depth, depth to groundwater, surface water levels, stream flow, exfiltration and water recharge.

We’re excited to continue our work the the MFGA, and expand access to the high-tech future of flood forecasting across Canada.

Manitoba farmers know firsthand the impacts of climate change and severe weather conditions that continue to threaten their livelihoods. This new forecasting tool will help farmers and stakeholders plan ahead and make informed decisions to better manage these risks and increase resiliency across the Pembina Valley Watershed District.
