Spring in Winnipeg Manitoba 2009





The Red River Floodway is an artificial flood control waterway in Manitoba. It is a 47 km long channel which, during flood periods, takes part of the Red River's flow around the city of Winnipeg, Manitoba to the east and discharges it back into the Red River below the dam at Lockport. It can carry floodwater at a rate of up to 2,550 cubic metres (91,700 cubic feet) per second. It was built partly in response to the disastrous 1950 Red River flood.(Source: Wikipedia)
