Convention and Protocol re Lake of the Woods.

This legally binding treaty between Canada and the US is about regulating the level of the transboundary Lake of the Woods. It establishes the requirements and powers of two boards to oversee the regulation of the water level of the Lake of the Woods (a boundary water), and flows from the Lake of the Woods into the Winnipeg River. While the lake is within a range of levels as defined in the treaty, the authority to manage the levels and flows is under the domestic Canadian Lake of the Woods Control Board. When water levels exceed the upper or lower bounds of this range, the International Lake of the Woods Control Board approves any regulation decisions of the domestic board.
