The CCCD was incorporated in 1979 and covers approximately 862 km2. It is situated east of Winnipeg and includes most of the Cooks Creek Watershed and parts of the Carrs Creek and lower Seine River basins. Water management is the most important issue in the district, however another significant concern is poor soil drainage. As a result, the district places emphasis on the maintenance and upgrading of agricultural drainage channels. Other initiatives include sealing abandoned wells, crossing replacements and repairs, and public education.
