History
The Division of Water Resources of the Ontario Water Resources Commission was organized early in 1957. Subsequently, in April of that year, the Ground Water Branch of the Ontario Department of Mines, with responsibility for supervising well drilling operations and surveys of groundwater throughout the province, was transferred to the Division.
The Division ceased to exist in 1972 when the Ontario Water Resources Commission ceased to exist and was replaced with the new Ontario Ministry of the Environment. Within the new Ministry, the functions of the Division of Water Resources were assumed by the Water Quantity Management Branch.
