Dennis Lake Regulation Study Summary Report 1983.
Material type:
TextPublication details: Winnipeg : Manitoba Dept. of Natural Resources, 1983Description: 19 p. : fold-out maps ; 28 cmSubject(s): Abstract: High water levels at Dennis Lake in the Interlake region are continuing to hamper agricultural and waterfowl production because there is no outlet below 876.5. Four regulation schemes each involving an outlet into Willow Creek via the South Malonton Drain were investigated. Three multi-purpose schemes that would result in additional agricultural,wildlife and recreational benefits were only marginally feasible from an economic standpoint. A single purpose agricultural scheme (Scheme 1) was not economically feasible mainly because of the significant losses in wildfur production that would be associated with this scheme. Scheme 111 where Dennis Lake would be regulated at 874 produced the highest benefit-cost ratio. If there is still strong opposition to a full supply level of 874, Scheme 1V where all of the lake except for the north cell would be regulated at 873 would be preferred. Benefits that would accrue to Manitoba would be similar under either of the multi-purpose schemes.

High water levels at Dennis Lake in the Interlake region are continuing to hamper agricultural and waterfowl production because there is no outlet below 876.5. Four regulation schemes each involving an outlet into Willow Creek via the South Malonton Drain were investigated. Three multi-purpose schemes that would result in additional agricultural,wildlife and recreational benefits were only marginally feasible from an economic standpoint. A single purpose agricultural scheme (Scheme 1) was not economically feasible mainly because of the significant losses in wildfur production that would be associated with this scheme. Scheme 111 where Dennis Lake would be regulated at 874 produced the highest benefit-cost ratio. If there is still strong opposition to a full supply level of 874, Scheme 1V where all of the lake except for the north cell would be regulated at 873 would be preferred.
