Welcome

Since the 1997 Red River Flood, considerable effort has been made in gathering and developing information that can be used in future flood events to improve the ability to respond. Work carried out under the direction of the International Joint Commission (IJC) Red River Task Force includes the development of a computer model that can predict flood levels over the flood plain, and the expansion of monitoring networks.

This decision-support project, developed under the Canada-Manitoba Partnership Agreement on Red River Valley Flood Protection, uses the computer model for predicting flood levels and provides water managers and flood fighters in the Red River Valley with an easy to use, map-based tool to assist them in responding to a flood emergency in the valley. The project uses geographic information system (GIS) based tools to facilitate the use and analysis of the wide variety of data and information available in the valley.
