These drainage regions cover all of the area within the coastal boundaries of Canada. The drainage regions were developed to provide a good representation of the hydrology in Canada and can be built up from the sub-sub-drainage area of the Standard Drainage Area Classificaton (SDAC) 2003).  These files were produced by Statistics Canada, Environment, Energy and Transportation Statistics Division, 2009, special tabulation of data from Pearse, P.H., F. Bertrand and J.W. MacLaren, 1985, Currents of Change: Final Report of the Inquiry on Federal Water Policy, Environment Canada, Ottawa. These files will also be accessible as web services on the Government of Canada web site Open Maps. A drainage basin is an area that drains all precipitation received as either runoff or base flow (groundwater sources) into a particular river or set of rivers. The boundary of a drainage basin is defined as the ridge beyond which water flows in the opposite direction. A drainage basin is also known as a catchment area or a watershed. NRCAN and Stats Canada use the term drainage basin and drainage region interchangeably.  completed Statistics Canada Canada CAN infostats@statcan.gc.ca originator unknown https://canwinmap.ad.umanitoba.ca/uploaded/thumbs/layer-41e81656-1736-11ed-b2d3-0242ac13000b-thumb.png?v=07631b87 Thumbnail for 'Drainage regions of Canada' image/png ESRI Shapefile 1.0 Classification Drainage Geographic data Rivers Surface water Water theme Canada place license Open Government Licence 2.0 - Canada (OGL-Canada-2.0): You are free to: Copy, modify, publish, translate, adapt, distribute or otherwise use the Information in any medium, mode or format for any lawful purpose.

All rivers with an annual mean flow higher than 10 000 cubic feet per second were depicted. However, land areas containing river basins that did not meet this annual mean flow threshold were assigned to the generic category "seaboard". The major river basins are the rivers that directly flow into the ocean. Within each major river basin, up to three levels of component basins were identified. In addition, water diversions larger than 1000 cubic feet per second were mapped. Natural Resources Canada. 1985. Canada--Drainage Basins [map].
