International Rainy and Namakan Lakes Rule Curves Study Board

On June 30th, 2017, the International Rainy and Namakan Lakes Rule Curves Study Board submitted its final report entitled Managing Water Levels and Flows in the Rainy River Basin to the International Joint Commission (IJC).

The International Rainy and Namakan Lakes Rule Curves Study Board was established by the International Joint Commission to make scientifically-supported recommendations to the IJC for modifying or retaining the 2000 Rainy and Namakan Lakes rule curves after reviewing the wide range of hydrologic, hydraulic, cultural and environmental factors.
