Okanagan Lake unlikely to hit full pool as spring advances to summer

Okanagan Lake is unlikely to reach its full pool level this year, with water levels expected to peak near current historic lows. Anticipated inflows for May and June are forecast to be just 32 percent of normal, representing an estimated 50-year return period low. Outflows from the lake’s dam are being reduced to preserve as much stored water as possible for the region’s agricultural and domestic needs. Attribution: Castanet.
