State of the Basin research draws on data from a variety of sources including federal, provincial, and local governments, not-for-profit initiatives, and other research organizations. To download data and view the source, visit the Digital Basin. Some information in the Snapshot Report was collected by the RDI or partner researchers, either through an August 2014 poll of 400 Basin-Boundary residents, or a survey of over 600 businesses across the region. These poll-based statistics are marked with a symbol.
