2015 Update of Upper Rainy River Numerical Model

In light of a planned 3-year long gate refurbishment project at the Fort Frances dam on the Rainy River, an existing 2-D hydrodynamic model will be updated with recent measured water level data in order to simulate the conveyance losses due to gate closures during refurbishment. In addition to this, the update will extend the range of the interactive visualization tool that is publically available on the Watershed Board’s website and will include the incorporation and simulation results of the 2014 high water levels and the overtopping of the dam spillway.
