The reservoir is also used to supplement flows on the Assiniboine when conditions are dry, ensuring water supply for Brandon, Portage la Prairie, irrigators, and some industries. For example in early August, 2021 the flow in Brandon was a little over 9 m3/s while the outflow from Shellmouth was 5.7 m3/s and inflow was less than 0.5 m3/s. Therefore without the dam the flow in the Assiniboine at Brandon would be a bit under 4 m3/s. Asessippi Provincial Park ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
