NEED TO PASS BY SHERWOOD IN THE COMING WEEKS...HOWEVER...THESE FLOWS 
SHOULD BE LOWER THAN THOSE SEEN FROM BOUNDARY DAM. ALL THIS WATER WILL 
WILL BE INFLOW INTO LAKE DARLING...AND THE RESULTING RELEASE SCHEDULE 
WILL LIKELY CONTINUE FLOODING ON THE SOURIS RIVER DOWNSTREAM OF LAKE 
DARLING FOR SEVERAL WEEKS TO COME.

OTHER SURFACE WATERS SUCH AS THE WINTERING RIVER AND WILLOW CREEK IN 
THE SOURIS RIVER BASIN ARE NOT AFFECTED BY RELEASES FROM LAKE DARLING 
BUT ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO BE WELL ABOVE FLOOD STAGE FOR AT LEAST 
THE NEXT WEEK.

FEW DAYS TO MEET THE TARGET FLOW...HOWEVER...RELEASES FROM LAKE DARLING
