Thermal and Optical Characteristics of Southern Indian Lake before, during, and after Impoundment and Churchill River Diversion [pdf]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
In 1976 Southern Indian Lake, a large, shallow, multibasin lake on the Churchill River in northern Manitoba, was impounded. The mean annual water level was raised 3 m over the historic mean level to divert 875 m3.s-1by gravity flow from the lake into the Nelson River drainage. Five years of observation beginning 2 yr before the year of impoundment and continuing for 2 yr after impoundment indicate that lake temperatures, light available for photosynthesis, and Secchi disk transparencies have all declined.-from Author
