		In 1993, the City of Winnipeg was awarded an international prize for the design and construction of a scenic walk along the Assiniboine River.
		The walk, which stretches about one kilometre from the Legislative Building to The Forks, Winnipeg's premier attraction at the junction of the Red and Assiniboine rivers, was Winnipeg's first attempt in more than 180 years to develop even a piece of the 232 kilometres of waterfront within the city.
		Being able to control the river levels would also mean that riverbank erosion that occurs as a result of rising and falling water levels would cease at a saving to the city of more than $100 million.

		In many instances especially where rivers feed into a lake fish will remain in proximity to the rapids but will be a lot deeper and away from the rapids.

		However, he is quick to note that the ice under the river trail near the Forks and in Kildonan Park has been tested and is safe for skating.
		Jordan believes part of the problem is the river is lower that usual, which means the current under the ice is running faster.

		A single river management and development authority, modeled on the one overseeing the south Saskatchewan river, is one option to make full use of our rivers and capture the economic and life benefits they offer.
		Our rivers should be considered a viable transportation option, linking the downtown with many sectors of the city, in both winter and open water seasons.
		Our river walkways are unusable again this summer due to flooding; the long-term costs of riverbank erosion are unknown; and over the top federal fisheries regulations limit the options of riverbank landowners who want to develop or stabilize their own shorelines.

	ABSTRACT: Geological and geotechnical engineering for urban development of Winnipeg, Manitoba. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
		Winnipeg is located on generally flat terrain and has a relatively well-defined geology with simple stratigraphy.
		River erosion, material deposition and sliding have developed complex stratigraphies and slope geometries that result in the Red and Assiniboine riverbanks being susceptible to a new or reactivated sliding.
		The potentiometric surface of this bedrock aquifer is locally above the bottom of deep excavations and above low water levels in the Red and Assiniboine rivers, so, the possibility of upward hydraulic gradients must be considered when designing deep excavations for "blow-out" protection and in riverbank stability analyses.

		Hargrave, in his book Red River covering the period from 1861 to 1871, referred to the autumn fisheries of the settlement which made available a "copious source of fish." He stated that Lakes Winnipeg and Manitoba abounded in fish of various kinds, the chief varieties being whitefish and sturgeon.

		A large scale system for supplying water to the City of Winnipeg began in 1913 when Shoal Lake, at the Manitoba-Ontario boundary, was chosen as the source of Winnipeg's water supply.
		The City of Winnipeg, a pioneer in wastewater management, has early on determined that it is more cost effective to centralize sludge treatment processes, so that the SEWPCC and WEWPCC haul their sludge using large tanker trucks to the NEWPCC for processing.
		Without treatment, the organic material in the wastewater would be released to the river, where it would decompose and reduce oxygen levels in the river to a point where they may become lethal to biota.
