 Assiniboine River - Definition 

The Assiniboine River is a river in the prairies of western Canada. It is a typical meandering river with a single main channel embanked within a flat, shallow valley. It flows south-east from Saskatchewan to "the Forks" in Winnipeg, Manitoba into the Red River of the North. Some of the flow is diverted into Lake Manitoba at Portage la Prairie. In 1967, a dam was built in Shellmouth that controls the river's flow. There are three stations placed down the river that have been taking measurements since 1913.
