Rainfall, Snowfall, Stream Flow and Groundwater
Each month the Sciences and Reporting Branch
of the Department of Environment prepares a summary of the state
of water levels in the province based on precipitation and stream
flow data for the previous 6 months. These provide information on
how much rain and snow fell (precipitation), the volume of water
flowing in rivers and streams (stream flow), and water levels in
selected wells used to keep track of groundwater. The information
in each report is compared to long-term averages.
An outlook is also provided, giving general information
on the water level situation in the province, along with a precipitation
forecast. When warranted, the outlook highlights the need for
water conservation. The information for a given month is normally
updated by the middle of the following month.
Note: the data provided in these reports
is provisional and subject to revision. Anyone having specific
enquiries should refer to the contact information link on this
site. |
