School Bay / Roger Roziere.

By: Material type: TextTextPublication details: MB : 1984.Description: 41 (9) p. : ill. , maps ; 28 cmOnline resources: Abstract: School Bay is a 1,300 acre segment of the western section of Delta marshes, adjacent to Lake Manitoba. It is situated between PR240 and the Portage diversion. Due to a lack of natural drawdowns, the condition of the wetland is deteriorating. Consequently the central area of the bay is becoming more open. Also, nesting cover, although in fair abundance and quality, is not at optimum levels to maximumize duck production. The Fort La Reine snye, which is an old river channel cut off by the construction of the Portage diversion, requires a higher water level to thin out heavily overgrown shallow areas. The main problem faced in the development was the removal of runoff from the snye and Cram Creek which presently flows through School Bay. Our proposed development would block this route through School Bay. Three alternatives which will operate with or without the snye included in the development, were considered for removing the runoff. They include pumping at the Beach Ridge into Lake Man
