Member of the staff of the Dominion government meteorological office. In dealing with floods experts agree naturally enough that precipitation is always the main contributing Factor. Other factors must enter into the picture to create a blood of disastrous proportions but the amount of rain or Snow that quietly from a Winnipeg settles Over the River s Valley is Headquarters since dec. 9, the most important. 1950, gathering the worst want to know by Cory Khz Vert a much maligned Public servant the Weatherman is a key expert when it comes to investigating pos sible ways of protecting the greater Winnipeg District from a flood like the one that came close to i paralysing the City in 1950. 1 a staff of up to 40 pers persons m office workers and Field men the red River Basin investigation has been the worst they Therman for Many of the answers. In past years there have been floods that would make the 1950 occurrence look like just a slight Case of High water. One of these in 1826, boosted the River level to nearly seven feet higher than the Peak reached in 1950. In 1852 the River reached a Point five feet above the 195u 1861 it again topped the 1950 High by three feet. Engineers would be the last men to say that floods of this proportion could not occur again in the red River Valley. In fact they must consider it within the realm of possibility that even More disastrous floods could occur. R. H.

Clark Speaks in these terms about the probable magnitude of future floods no flood control scheme can give either Security or Economy of Protection if the flood for which it is designed is one of Mere con Jecture. A knowledge of the magnitude of the great floods that have occurred in the past and the likelihood of their exceeded in the future is essential in the successful planning of any flood control project. From a study of past records it would be futile to believe that the sequence of meteorological conditions accounting for the Large volume of water in the red fiver should not again be expected to occur in the during their investigations the engineers of the red River Basin investigation asked this question among others what is the head est rainstorm that could pour Down on the River to answer this one the weather Man had to manufacture a storm. Not necessarily a replica of the worst storm on record but the most intensive and extensive rain that could occur Over such a Valley to do this he might take a Rair that had fallen somewhere else and Transfer it statistically speaking into the red River Valley.
