The purpose of this project is to create a Hydrologic Visualization Tool web application for Rainy Lake, Namakan Reservoir, and Rainy River in support of adaptive management of lake levels. This work will provide a tool to assist the International Rainy-Lake of the Woods Watershed Board and its committees in assessing lake level management scenario modeling output showing performance of existing and alternate rule curves. The tool will build off the hydrologic response models and digital elevation models completed for Rainy Lake, Namakan Reservoir, and Rainy River as part of the 2018 Rainy-Namakan Lake Rule Curves. This project will also enhance and add benefit to a flooding and ice damage project completed through study that supported the 2018 Rainy-Namakan Lake Rule Curves.
