Analysis and interpretation of Assiniboine River sediment station data / Peter E. Ashmore Ph.D.: En39-155/1990E-PDF
"Water Resources Branch, Environment Canada has operated six sediment stations on the Assiniboine River, These are, in downstream order, Kamsack, Russell, Holland, Rossendale, Portage la Prairie and Headingley. Programs were initially begun in 1956 by PFRA and taken over by WRB in the early 1960s. The longest running station is at Headingley, near the confluence with the Red River. Most of the rest of the stations were established in the late 1960s to monitor the effects of the Lake of the Prairies and Portage Diversion on sediment regimes in the river. Generally these stations ran for 6 to 10 years in the 1970s. The stations near Holland and at Headingley are the only ones currently active"--Abstract, page i.
