Assiniboine River
The Assiniboine River is a river in the prairies of western Canada. It is a typical meandering river with a single main channel embanked within a flat, shallow valley. It flows south-east from Saskatchewan to Virdine in Winnipeg, Manitoba into the Red River of the North. Some of the flow is diverted into Lake Manitoba at Portage la Prairie. In 1967, a dam was built in Shellmouth that controls the river's flow. There are three stations placed down the river that have been taking measurements since 1913.
