Drought Watch

Our Goal:

  • To provide timely information of the impacts of climatic variability on water supply and agriculture.
  • To promote practices that reduce drought vulnerability and improve management during a drought.

The impact of climatic variability on the environment is of great importance to the agricultural sector in Canada. Monitoring the impacts on water supplies, soil degradation and agricultural production is essential to the preparedness of the region in dealing with possible drought conditions. These pages and maps will provide you with an overview on the risk of drought in Canada.
