TextPublication details: Ducks Unlimited Canada, 1969.Description: 15 (2) p. : ill. ; 28 cmOnline resources: Abstract: The purpose of this report is to document the importance of the Lake Winnipeg basin to waterfowl and waterfowl recreation, and to assess the effects of four water-regulation proposals compared with the present unregulated condition. Although the size of Lake Winnipeg is approximately six million acres, the major importance of this lake to waterfowl is concentrated within 100,000 acres or so of marshes bordering the lake. These marshes have in the past provided valuable duck and goose nesting habitat, served as mid-summer moulting areas for ducks, and, because of their attractiveness as fall staging areas, have provided extensive waterfowl hunting opportunities for Manitobans. Due to annual and seasonal fluctuations in water levels of Lake Winnipeg these values have not always been realized to their potential. However,some water regulation schemes that have been proposed appear to improve upon the unregulated condition. This report selects the proposals we feel are best. We hope that
