“The Lake of the Woods Control Board is a Canadian board which regulates the water levels of Lake of the Woods and Lac Seul, and the flows in the Winnipeg and English Rivers downstream of these lakes to their junction, for the long term benefit of all users and interests.”

“The International Lake of the Woods Control Board membership is appointed by the two federal governments. It is responsible for maintaining water levels on Lake of the Woods when the levels exceed elevations of 1056 or 1061 feet above sea level in accordance with the 1925 Lake of the Woods Convention and Protocol, signed by Canada and the United States. When the lake is between those levels water levels are managed by the Canadian Lake of the Woods Board. If there is any disagreement between the two members of the International Lake of the Woods Control Board, that matter is to be referred to the IJC. “
“The International Rainy-Lake of the Woods Watershed Board (the Board) was created in January 2013, from an amalgamation of the International Rainy Lake Board of Control and the International Rainy River Water Pollution Board, with added water quality responsibilities for the broader Rainy-Lake of the Woods watershed. The Board was formed to assist with binational coordination of water quality efforts for the entire transboundary watershed and to ensure compliance with the Commission’s Order on the regulation of water levels on Rainy Lake and the Namakan Reservoir.”
