Manitoba Updates Flood Forecast

The Manitoba government says it continues to take action to protect Manitobans from potential spring flooding along the Red River. Updated predictions based on weather conditions and current flows now show a downgrade of last week’s forecast tracking towards 2017 levels. Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Doyle Piwniuk says the province has also installed nine new real-time gauges to monitor water levels in reservoirs across southern Manitoba, and will install four additional gauges this year.
