The water development program aims to best use Manitoba's water resources across the settled area. It covers four categories: flood control, water conservation, drainage, and water supply for industrial and domestic use, indicating both actual and proposed development.
Manitoba gears a broad program to convert the province’s erratic rivers into managed water resources. Major works include a Winnipeg floodway about 30 miles long, a Portage la Prairie floodway, and a Shellmouth dam to impound Assiniboine water, with cost around 83 million dollars and completion in about five years. The plan, funded jointly with Ottawa, aims to attract industry and create off farm jobs while preserving flexibility for irrigation as demand grows.
