Water Conservation in Manitoba Shapes Future Land Use
Water conservation is the key to Manitoba’s resource strategy. A watershed based system aims to reduce floods, prevent soil erosion, and protect crops by conveying water through canals from Shellmouth reservoir and Portage diversion into Red and Assiniboine basins. Long term plans include Lake Winnipegosis and Saskatchewan River events with local watershed districts gaining control and province support to deliver water for tomorrow.

Watershed plan urged to curb Manitoba water waste
Manitoba engineers warn rivers swell into floods then shrink to trickles as mis management depletes water. They urge coordinated land and water conservation, watershed districts, and forestry integration to protect town supplies and farm wells for future generations.
