The Carrot River Triangle waterfowl production potential and management / Phil Ould and Bob Clay.

Study of the Carrot River Triangle was undertaken to determine its potential for waterfowl production and to recommend management practices which will create conditions for realizing this potential. In addition,objectives of the study are to solve problems of conflict between Wildlife Management and Agriculture, where these exist. Present production of waterfowl in the Carrot River Triangle is low, primarily due to problems of water level control and lack of interspersion of land and water. Potential production from the area is high. Vast areas of grassland and sedge provides excellent nesting cover, invertebrates are abundant and the regions' great fertility is reflected in the vigorous growth of vegetation (cattail 11 feet high - Lake 6; S. Validus 9 feet high - Saskeram Lake). Objectives of management, therefore, are to develop water level control regimes (including drawdown) for each lake and to increase interspersion by establishing emergent vegetation,constructing level ditche
