Another decrease in outflow from the Norman Dam

Another decrease in outflow from the Norman Dam into the Winnipeg River today.

That’s because inflow into the lake remains fairly low.

Water levels on Lake of the Woods went down about 1 centimeter this past week, and despite the decrease in outflow from the dam, lake levels are expected to decrease another centimeter over the next seven days.

To continue slowing the rate of level decline, the Lake of the Woods Control Board has authorized outflow will to be reduced to 200 m3/s.

Levels on the Winnipeg River below the Norman Dam are expected to drop about 5 centimeters this week and 1.5 centimeters at the Dalles.
