TextPublication details: Winnipeg : Canada, Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration, 1956Description: 47 p. : ill., maps ; 28 cmSubject(s): Abstract: This report on the eastern slopes of the Riding Mountain, describes the flooding problem that exists in the rural municipalities of McCreary and Ste. Rose du Lac, and outlines the investigative field work carried out by the P.F.R.A. to date. Four tentative proposals for flood control are described in general terms under the following headings: a) drain to Lake Dauphin, b) drain to Lake Manitoba, c) improvements to existing streams and drains, d) headwater storage. Comparative cost estimates are included for the first three of the proposals. The estimates are based,for uniformity, on hypothetical design peak discharges, and are included solely for comparison, giving a picture of the relative magnitude of the works required. Various aspects of the several proposals are described and discussed, but no specific solution is recommended.
