| WATERSHED CONDITIONS BULLETIN - August 5, 2011 |
|
Water levels throughout the watershed are lower than normal due to an extended period of hot dry weather. With no significant rainfall in the long range forecast, levels across the watershed are expected to continue to decline. Residents are advised to use caution when venturing out on area waterways as additional shoals or other obstacles in the water may be exposed due to the lower water levels. Limiting non-essential use of potable water is also encouraged. Daily water levels and flows are available on the MVC website at www.mvc.on.ca. The Mississippi Valley Conservation low water response program monitors weather conditions, river flows and water levels issuing watershed conditions bulletins as required. |
