An Entity of Type: body of water, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Red River Floodway (French: Canal de dérivation de la rivière Rouge) is an artificial flood control waterway in Western Canada. It is a 47 km (29 mi) long channel which, during flood periods, takes part of the Red River's flow around the city of Winnipeg, Manitoba to the east and discharges it back into the Red River below the dam at Lockport. It can carry floodwater at a rate of up to 140,000 cubic feet per second (4,000 m3/s), expanded in the 2000s from its original channel capacity of 90,000 cubic feet per second (2,500 m3/s).

  • Le Canal de dérivation de la rivière Rouge est une voie d'eau artificielle qui détourne une partie des eaux de la rivière Rouge dans sa traversée de la ville de Winnipeg dans le Manitoba au Canada. Il a été désigné lieu historique national en 2000. (fr)
  • The Red River Floodway (French: Canal de dérivation de la rivière Rouge) is an artificial flood control waterway in Western Canada. It is a 47 km (29 mi) long channel which, during flood periods, takes part of the Red River's flow around the city of Winnipeg, Manitoba to the east and discharges it back into the Red River below the dam at Lockport. It can carry floodwater at a rate of up to 140,000 cubic feet per second (4,000 m3/s), expanded in the 2000s from its original channel capacity of 90,000 cubic feet per second (2,500 m3/s). The Floodway was pejoratively nicknamed "Duff's Ditch" by opponents of its construction, after Premier Duff Roblin, whose Progressive Conservative government initiated the project, partly in response to the disastrous 1950 Red River flood. It was completed in time and under budget. Subsequent events have vindicated the plan. Since its completion in 1968, the Floodway is estimated to have prevented over $40 billion (CAD) in cumulative flood damage. It was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 2000, as the floodway is an outstanding engineering achievement both in terms of function and impact. From south to north, the Floodway passes through the extreme southeastern part of Winnipeg and the rural municipalities of Ritchot, Springfield, East St. Paul, and St. Clements. (en)
  • 红河泄洪水道(英語:Red River Floodway;法語:Canal de dérivation de la rivière Rouge)是一条加拿大西部的人造泄洪水道,最初于1969年开始使用。水道长47公里,洪水到来时,河水经温尼伯市东南侧的泄洪水道闸门分流成两个部分,一部分按原有河道,另一部分经泄洪水道绕城市半周,在温尼伯城市北部Lockport大坝下面汇入红河。泄洪道的最高承载量为每秒4000立方米,在2000年扩建工程开始以前,水道的最大承载量只有1700立方米每秒。部分原因是为了防止1950年那样的洪水。 泄洪道最初被持反对意见的人戏称为“达福沟”(Duff's Ditch),因为时任首相达福·罗宾的进步保守政府发起的该工程。该工程按时按预算完成,之后的一些洪水证明了这个项目的正确性。从1968年到2006年,泄洪道先后启用二十多次,预防了高达累计1000亿加币的损失。2000年该泄洪道还被选为 加拿大国家历史遗迹因其工程发挥了杰出的作用和影响。 从南至北,泄洪道从温尼伯市的最南端,分别经Ritchot,Springfield,East St. Paul,St. Clements的偏僻区域。 (zh)
