These deviations occur with no formal regulatory process or oversight. Ducharme says a return to the actual licence terms would ease the tremendous stress on the lake and allow partial recovery of the fishery.https://hydrojustice.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/12-540.jpg540After The sudden release of water damages docks, equipment and, of course, wildlife. It could have easily been prevented if Hydro had kept lake levels lower to allow a buffer for rainfall. Similar flushing also happened in 2005 and 2010.https://hydrojustice.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/11-north-indian.jpgnorth indianBefore Another before-and-after set from the Lower Churchill River.

Due to rain and the fact that Hydro had allowed the lake to get too high, it was forced to release water. Even so, it admitted violating the allowed levels of flooding on the lake. https://hydrojustice.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/09-clothes-line-and-sleigh_0.jpgclothes line and sleigh_0De-watered (Before) Where Southern Indian Lake empties into the Lower Churchill River, the Missi Falls Control Structure blocks most of the flow (map and description). Hydro holds water back in the lake so it can divert it southward to the big dams when needed. As a result, areas downstream of Missi Falls—areas used by the Cree—are "de-watered," as pictured. https://hydrojustice.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/08-sil-shoreline-collapsing.jpgSIL Shoreline collapsingFuel Source At least a quarter of the water that will flow through the recently approved Keeyask dam will come from Southern Indian Lake (map here). Hydro's "new era" dams plug directly into the damage shown in these photos, and the 800 square kilometres of flooding caused by Churchill River Diversion. https://hydrojustice.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/07-sil-shoreline-close-up.jpgSIL Shoreline close-up'Clean' energy Hydro boasts of clean energy.

 "There are externalities everywhere:... water quality, erosion, floating debris and islands, despair, hopelessness." – Chris Baker, Headman/Chief, O-Pipon-Na-Piwin Cree Nation (at South Indian Lake), 2004https://hydrojustice.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/10-jenpeg-forebay-aerial-1-june-2902-mg-copy1.pngJenpeg forebay aerialWhile hydro generation in Manitoba is clean in some respects it also contributes to the permanent flooding of "more than 2,600 square kilometers of land" (1991 Government of Manitoba report).

Can the power produced be cleaner than the water that runs through the dams?
