AERIAL FOOTAGE OF THE RED RIVER FLOODWAY (CINEMATIC) - WINNIPEG, MANITOBA, CANADA #corkboardtv #redriverfloodway #winnipeg Hello my peeps! Though the weather has been awful here in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada I did get out with "Eagle 13" (DJI Mavic Pro) to capture some aerial cinematic footage of the Red River Floodway. The Red River Floodway (aka Duff's Ditch) was envisioned by Manitoba Premier Duff Roblin after the 1950 floods. Below is some info on the "ditch" Wikepedia Info On The Red River Floodway 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 has 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. Construction of the Floodway started on November 27th, 1962 and finished in March 1968. The construction was a major undertaking with 76.5 million cubic metres (2.75 billion cubic feet) of earth excavated—more than what was moved for the Suez Canal. At the time, the project was the second largest earth-moving project in the world – next only to the construction of the Panama Canal.The total cost at the time was $63 million (CAD), equivalent to approximately $505 million today. Since the 1997 Red River Flood resulted in water levels that took the existing floodway to the limits of its capacity, various levels of government commissioned engineering studies for a major increase in flood protection for the City of Winnipeg. Work began in late 2005 under a provincial collective bargaining agreement and has included modifications to rail and road crossings as well as transmission line spans, upgrades to inlet control structures and fire protection, increas ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZGB7mA6CXk
