Manitoba Watershed Authority Backers Push Multi Municipality Plans
Drought prompts renewed interest inWatershed control districts across Manitoba. Officials expect first district for Plum River by 1982, with Pembina Stanley Rhineland Montcalm and towns Morden Winkler Altona Gretna Plum Coulee involved. Other regions including Turtle River Seine McCreary Ste Rose and Whitemud show interest in multi municipality authority.

Hay Prospects Improve in Central Texas Pastures After Rains
Light rains across the district renewed hope for crops though relief remains uneven. Beav er Katrime Path Head and MacGregor areas saw varied showers with heavier rain south of a MacGregor line, aiding pastures and second hay crops while cattle shipments rise due to scarce feed. Some farmers report only a fifth of last year’s hay while others have surplus, and residents are stretched by road allowances and creeks used to store feed.

Lake Manitoba Outflow Doubles Capacity at Fairford Outlet
Lake Manitoba water now flows through the Fairford River to Lake St. Martin after removing a retaining coffer dam on 1 June. Engineers say the enlarged channel and improved control structure will limit lake level changes to about two feet, reducing west shore flooding and easing hayland losses for farmers. The project increases outflow during heavy inflows to about six times the old natural channel capacity, with remaining excavation to be completed this fall.
