WINNIPEG – Some rivers are rising in Manitoba, prompting the provincial government to warn of flooded farmland.
The province has issued a flood warning for the Assiniboine River between Millwood and Virden in western Manitoba.
A flood watch has been issued further downstream between Virden and Brandon.
The government is warning of a potential for ice jams on the Assiniboine between Portage La Prairie and Headingley.
The province adds, however, that the river is expected to stay within it banks even if there are ice jams.
The rising water is also threatening some rural roads.
