Description
In fulfillment of its obligations under the 1938 Rainy Lake Convention, the IJC initiated further studies on Rainy Lake watershed emergency conditions.
Outcome
The IJC studies led to a 1949 Order determining when emergency conditions exist and prescribing the method of regulating levels to preclude the occurrence of such emergency conditions on Rainy and Namakan Lakes. A consolidated Order issued in 2001 replaced all previous Orders and Supplementary Orders.
