Province Advises Outflow from Shellmouth Reservoir Increasing
Manitoba Infrastructure’s Hydrologic Forecast Centre reports the outflow from Shellmouth Reservoir will be increasing this afternoon to 350 cubic feet per second (cfs) from 120 cfs as part of the normal annual fall drawdown of the Shellmouth reservoir.
This will result in a one-foot to one-and-a-half-foot increase on the Assiniboine River from the Shellmouth reservoir to Russell, and a half-foot increase from Russell to Miniota. The increase will diminish to near zero as the water reaches Brandon in about five days.
The province will continue to monitor conditions on the upper Assiniboine River as well as downstream river levels.
