The Lower Thames Valley Source Protection Area includes
those lands draining into the Thames River from the
community of Delaware to Lake St. Clair. It also
includes the lands that drain into Lake Erie lying south
of the lower Thames River watershed and a small triangle
of land north of the mouth of the Thames draining
directly into Lake St. Clair. This area includes most of
the municipality of Chatham-Kent, the western portion of
Elgin County, part of southwestern Middlesex County
(including some of the City of London) and a portion of
eastern Essex County. The area covers approximately
3,274 square kilometres with a total watershed
population (2001) of about 107,000.
There are five First Nations that are located in the
Lower Thames Valley Source Protection Area watershed
including: Caldwell First Nation, Chippewas of the
Thames First Nation, Delaware First Nation,
Munsee-Delaware First Nation and Oneida Nation of the
Thames.
