Winnipeg River Basin Hydroclimatology


Principal Investigators: Scott St. George and David M. Meko
Funding Agency: Manitoba Hydro

Award Period: 9/01/03 - 09/01/07

The long version of the title is "The Frequency, Severity and Causes of Extreme Droughts in the Winnipeg River Basin". This is a grant that PhD student Scott St. George brought with him to the University of Arizona. The Winnipeg River basin, which straddles Manitoba, Ontario and Minnesota, directly influences the production of about 4,500 megawatts of hydropower. An objective is to determine if low flows are predictable and periodic and associated with specific atmospheric circulation patterns.
