The risk of spring flooding in most Manitoba rivers remains low to moderate.

Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure’s Hydrologic Forecast Centre released its March outlook Tuesday and said there is a moderate risk for the Assiniboine River from Russell to Brandon, the Souris River, the Qu’Appelle River, and the Fisher and Icelandic rivers in the Interlake.

The flooding risk along Manitoba’s lakes is considered low.

The risk of flooding continues to depend on weather conditions until the spring melt. The province advised Manitobans to stay off waterways, rivers and retention ponds.

Cutting and breaking of ice have been completed on the Red and Icelandic rivers. The Fisher River will be targeted next.
