April continues to see very high precipitation amounts and flows are quickly rising across many areas of the watershed. Cold temperatures over the past week have slowed the spring melt response. However, warmer temperatures with additional rainfall this week will see flows rising much more quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The current level of\u00a0Lake of the Woods<\/a>\u00a0is 322.56 m (1058.3 ft), a 50th<\/sup>\u00a0percentile level for this time of year. The average lake level rose by 9 cm (4 in) over the past week and is expected to increase by 15-20 cm (6-8 in) over the next week with the rapid rise in inflow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Lake of the Woods authorized outflow is scheduled to be increased from 500 m\u00b3\/s to 575 m\u00b3\/s on Wednesday April 20. The Winnipeg River level immediately below Norman Dam will rise by approximately 18 cm (7 in) as a result of this flow increase. The river level rise will be less with distance downstream of Kenora with no effect expected at Minaki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An additional outflow increase is likely on Friday, April 22, with further increases to follow next week. Details for these outflow changes will be provided on this Notice Board . <\/p>\n\n\n\n The current level of\u00a0Lac Seul\u00a0<\/a>is 354.79 m (1164.0 ft), a 40th<\/sup>\u00a0percentile level for this time of year. The average lake level rose by 6 cm (2 in) over the past week and is expected to increase by 12-22 cm (5-9 in) over the next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lac Seul authorized outflow is 100 m\u00b3\/s with no changes currently scheduled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" April continues to see very high precipitation amounts and flows are quickly rising across many areas of the watershed.
