REEPS: Water Resource Inventory for Wildfire Suppression (Public)

This dataset contains the report and geospatial information produced through the 2025 Water Resource Inventory for Wildfire Suppression project in the Red Mountain Road and Enterprise Creek area on the east side of Slocan Lake, British Columbia. The dataset supports wildfire response planning and operations through the identification, verification, and mapping of water sources and related infrastructure within an at-risk community.

Dataset Data Disclaimer The project report and the associated maps have been prepared using information provided in good faith by residents, for the sole purpose of supporting emergency response activities. The authors and their organizations do not monitor or control third-party use of this information. Any use beyond the intended purpose of supporting emergency response is outside the scope of this project and is undertaken entirely at the responsibility and risk of the user. Any use of this information by third parties, whether related to emergency response or otherwise, is at the liability of such third parties. The authors and their organizations accept no responsibility or liability for any damages, losses, or consequences arising from such uses. The information reflects the authors’ best judgment based on the data available at the time of preparation. A record copy of this report and data is on file with Living Lakes Canada, which takes precedence over any other copy or reproduction. This project does not represent an exhaustive inventory of usable water resources or other features relevant to fire suppression within the Area of Interest (AOI) for several reasons. Factors such as crew safety, weather conditions, permission to access private land, limitations of landowner consent, condition of access routes, and time constraints precluded a thorough assessment of all lands and waters within the AOI. Some data provided through this project has been accessed or provided by third parties. Living Lakes Canada and REEPS cannot guarantee the accuracy of that information.
