The province's first spring flood outlook report has been released.
The report states the only rivers running at above normal flows are the Red; Souris; and Saskatchewan rivers, while the Dauphin river, along with Lake Winnipegosis and Dauphin Lake are at near-normal levels.
If you like numbers, the report shows the current level of Dauphin Lake at 260.34 meters (854.14 feet), and Lake Winnipegosis is at 253.19 meters (830.68 feet).
Infrastructure Minister Ron Schuler said the focus is currently on the Red River, where they are expecting a significant inflow of water from the northern United States, but with favourable weather conditions in Manitoba, they would expect water levels similar to last spring.
He added that the Assiniboine River basin and other rivers are expected to remain mostly in bank, with possible over-bank high water covering agricultural land.
The Hydrologic Forecast Centre plans to release a second Spring Thaw Outlook in late March. You can view the current report here.
