To assist with the pre-development determination of site-specific water balance values, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) and Credit Valley Conservation (CVC) have developed the Toronto Region Source Protection Area (TRSPA) web-based application tool that provides precipitation, evapotranspiration (actual), runoff, and recharge based on outputs from the numerical models developed under the Drinking Water Source Protection Program. Note that these values are based on a regional assessment of the water balance, and may be supplanted by site-specific data or modelling.
Take a look at the online TRSPA Water Budget Tool below, which highlights [http://www.wellingtonwater.ca/en/vulnerable-source-water-areas/water-quantity.aspx WHPA-Q (Water Quantity)] in the GTA region showcasing areas where activities that take water without returning it to the SPA and/or reduce recharge can be a threat:
