Qu'Appelle River


Apportionable flows are calculated for the Qu'Appelle River near Welby, Saskatchewan (station 05JM001).

The black bar shows the amount of apportionable flows that were required to be delivered by Saskatchewan to Manitoba.  The white bar shows the flow surplus amounts that were delivered in excess of required flows.  The combined black (provincial share) and white (surplus) stacked bars show the total recorded flows. On the y-axis, the number following the "e" in the Scientific Notation shows how many zeros should be placed to the right of the decimal place.

 

Under the Master Agreement on Apportionment, Manitoba's share is 50% of the apportionable flows of the Qu'Appelle River.

Saskatchewan has always met their delivery requirements throughout the entire data record.

You can copy and paste flow data presented below into a spreadsheet or word processing file.  You can also download a MS Excel file from the right side bar.
