TextPublication details: Winnipeg, MB : 1986. Ducks Unlimited Canada,Description: iii, 16 (13) p. : maps ; 28 cmOnline resources: Abstract: Prime Lake, north east of Dauphin, Manitoba, was evaluated for waterfowl production improvement through water management. The wetland, having low fertility and a large shallow marsh area, was proposed to be divided into two cells each with independent drawdown capability. To protect fish spawning habitat downstream, channel improvements in the Crane River are not proposed. Small runoff volumes most years and, therefore,the inability to maintain optimum water levels post-development, make the proposed development of limited value to increasing waterfowl production. The project costs including a 30% contingency are $366,400.Waterfowl production post development should reach 1043 birds annually.The value over 21 and 30 years is $219,030 and $312,900, giving a benefit-cost of 0.60 and 0.85 respectively, when considering an annual value at $10.00 per duck.
