The Coalition for Equitable Water Flow (CEWF) is a volunteer organization. Its goal is to represent the interests of taxpayers who own a residential shoreline property on 55 lakes that feed all the way down into the Trent Canal, the water levels of which are controlled by the Trent Severn Waterway.

Of these 55 lakes, 35 are ‘reservoir lakes’ and 20 are ‘flow-through lakes’ which are known collectively as the Reservoir and Flow-through Lakes, or ‘RaFT lakes’. These lakes are within the Haliburton Sector of the Trent River watershed. The sub-watersheds in the Sector are associated with the following rivers and creeks: Gull River, Burnt River, Mississauga River, Nogies Creek, Eel’s Creek, and Jack’s Creek.
