A Survey of Hydroclimate, Flooding, and Runoff in the Red River Basin Prior to 1870

Rannie, W.F.

This report examines archival material to reconstruct the flood history of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers for the period from 1793 to 1870. The analysis is also extended to non-flood years by inferring the general runoff conditions in the basins for as many years as allowed by the data.

Located at the junction of the Red and Assiniboine rivers, The Forks (also known as Nestawaya in Cree) has been a meeting place for over 6,000 years – located on the original lands of the Anishinaabe, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Lakota peoples and resides in the homeland of the Red River Métis. This place also has deep ties with Dene and Inuit peoples, operates with water from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, and has welcomed people from all walks of life to trade, visit, and build community. In this spirit, all staff and administration here respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
