Water Supply Outlook

Increases in snow pack levels and the delay in the onset of melt have led to increased flood risk potential in areas of the province. Based on elevated snow pack levels, well above normal spring runoff is expected in the Middle Fraser, Lower Fraser, Nicola, Kootenay, Lower Columbia, Okanagan-Kettle, Similkameen, Bulkley, South Coast and Vancouver Island. Increased flood risk is expected in the Middle Fraser, Nicola, Kootenay, Lower Columbia, Okanagan-Kettle, Similkameen, and Bulkley River. Rivers in these systems experience their peak flows during the spring freshet period.

Whether or not significant flooding occurs in these systems will depend primarily on the weather during the snowmelt season in May and June.

Our region – Okanagan Kettle is up 145% above normal snowpack levels.
