Manitoba’s groundwater monitoring network supports aquifer protection and evaluation, drought resilience, and sustainable development. This presentation summarizes network status and design, operational constraints, and priorities for integration into a Canadian national framework. The network comprises 600+ wells across major hydrostratigraphic units, emphasizing regional aquifers and groundwater–surface water interfaces. Core instrumentation includes pressure transducers, Stevens records, telemetry, and periodic sampling of primary parameters (major ions, nutrients, trace elements, and field physico-chemistry). Three full-time equivalents maintain instruments, monitoring sites, and sample. Routine targets are two to three site visits per well per year; chemistry sampling follows an approximately decadal rotation due to staffing limits. Key constraints include a 20+ year-old, largely standalone database incompatible with ArcGIS, limiting automated reporting, spatial analytics, and public access. Limited staff relative to network size complicates trip scheduling, increases data gaps, and delays maintenance. Interference from recent development and aging infrastructure introduce uncertainty and rising rehabilitation needs. We propose a practical modernization pathway aligned with a national groundwater framework: (1) migrate to interoperable data architecture; (2) implement automated QA/QC and reporting pipelines integrated with ArcGIS and web services; (3) apply risk-based optimization of site density, visit frequency, and parameter suites; (4) establish an asset management program for well condition and replacement; and (5) adopt policies protecting monitoring infrastructure. A pan-Canadian groundwater portal—analogous to USGS NWIS and ECCC hydrometric services—would deliver real-time and historical levels and chemistry via public APIs, improving comparability, transparency, and decision readiness.
