The CAMC has undertaken substantial research into the geology and hydrogeology in the Oak Ridges Moraine area utilizing drilled boreholes. The cores were used to create 3D models of the subterranean layers to investigate the flow of groundwater and how that dynamic system might be affected by changes in land use and other human activity. The geological and hydrogeological strata models have been mapped and bundled into packages available for download through MapWarehouse.

The TRCA has hands-on experience advocating for sustainable watershed management for the communities in the Greater Toronto Area. As part of the TRCA‘s mandate to prepare for and manage the influx of surface water that comes from summer storms and snow pack melt, a series of regulatory floodline maps were created covering lands adjacent to watercourses across the GTA. These maps outline the existing recorded high water mark and are important for managing risk and making responsible choices in land use planning. These regulatory floodline maps are available through MapWarehouse.
