Water Sources & Supply

back

Watersheds & Reservoirs
Our drinking water comes from rainfall and snowmelt in three mountain watersheds. The supply is pristine, natural, and protected.
Taking Care of the Watersheds
The watersheds are closed to public access and managed as natural assets of the highest importance to our region.
Reservoir Levels & Water Use
Metro Vancouver continuously monitors reservoir levels and posts them here from May to October, when rainfall is lower and demand for water is highest. Learn more about how we use water throughout the year.
Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve
The 5,668-hectare Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve (LSCR) contains spectacular and rugged landscapes. Its alpine peaks, forested slopes, and pristine waters offer spectacular scenery and outdoor recreation opportunities.
