Other Flood Protection
- Gardenton Floodway - Completed in 1930 by the provincial and federal governments, it diverts flood waters from the Roseau River into a relief channel that is protected by two dikes on either side of the channel banks. It prevents flooding of communities such as Vita as well as farms and agricultural lands.
- Carman Diversion - Completed in 1991, the $6 million diversion was funded by the federal and provincial governments and the Town of Carman. It diverts flood water from the Boyne River west of the town through a 9.8 km (6 miles) channel that exits into the Norquay Channel northeast of the town, providing protection for the Town of Carman. Before the diversion was built, Carman experienced major floods in 1893, 1923, 1970, 1974 and 1979. The 1979 flood caused damages of over $3 million.
- Seine River Diversion to the Red River - Completed in 1960, the channel diverts flood water from the Seine River into the Red River in the vicinity of St. Adolphe. It significantly reduces the risk of flooding for communities like Ste. Anne and Lorette, as well as residences and farms located along the Seine River.
