Pineimuta Marsh brief to the Manitoba Water Commission / Ducks Unlimited Canada.
Material type:
TextPublication details: 1978. Winnipeg, MB : Ducks Unlimited Canada,Description: 12 p. : ill. ; 28 cmOnline resources: Abstract: Pineimuta Lake and adjacent wetlands comprise some 9,000 acres. The north end of the lake consists mainly of meadow and potholes with emergent vegetation, the south end is dominated by a large alluvial delta. The east shoreline is relatively steep, gravelly and fringed with willow. Numerous pressure ridges and embayments characterize the west shoreline. The general area lies in the zone of transition between sedge peat and deep moss-covered peat bogs in the Interlake Till Plain.Generally the soils in this zone are thin and low in fertility and the potential productivity for waterfowl would be low. However this is not the case with L. Pineimuta as the area is very fertile particularly in the delta and north marsh. The fertility is the result of the fluvial products of the inflowing Fairford R., Partridge Creek and the drainage ditch at the northwest end of the lake.
