  • 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.
  • Planning for Future Water Supply
    Metro Vancouver uses the latest information to prepare for a growing population and changing climate, and is planning projects that will ensure a reliable supply of drinking water well into the future.
  • 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.

Metro Vancouver acknowledges that the region’s residents live, work, and learn on the shared territories of many Indigenous peoples, including 10 local First Nations: Katzie, Kwantlen, Kwikwetlem, Matsqui, Musqueam, Qayqayt, Semiahmoo, Squamish, Tsawwassen, and Tsleil-Waututh.

Metro Vancouver respects the diverse and distinct histories, languages, and cultures of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit, which collectively enrich our lives and the region.
