The <entity_0> was caused by above average precipitation in western <entity_2> and Saskatchewan. The <entity_4> came just 3 years after the 2011 <entity_1> Flood which was considered a 1 in 300 year event. After a generally unremarkable spring in the <entity_1> watershed with some minor flooding, a series of significant rainfall events occurred in June and early July with the most significant event occurring in Eastern Saskatchewan and Western <entity_2> over the <entity_3> Day long weekend. After multiple states of local states of emergencies were declared in <entity_2>, the Province of <entity_2> declared a provincial state of emergency on July 4, and Premier Greg Selinger contacted Prime Minister Stephen Harper to request military assistance in the <entity_4> fight. Preparations were also made at the Hoop and Holler bend on Provincial Road 331 in the event a controlled breach of the lower <entity_1> was needed to handle excess flows beyond the capacity of <entity_4> control measures. With excess spring flows on the <entity_1> directed towards Lake <entity_2> through use of the Portage Diversion, lake levels were above the desirable range of the lake of 810.0 to 812.0 feet above sea level (ASL) and even the upper limit of 813 feet ASL prior to the summer <entity_4>. Future damages may occur on Lake <entity_2> as a result of the continued use of the Portage Diversion redirecting <entity_4> waters from the <entity_1> until the lower reach of the river can handle flows without flooding.
