Watershed conditions statement issued by by Conservation Authority
A Watershed Conditions Statement – Water Safety has been issued for the North Bay – Mattawa watershed, according to the North Bay-Mattawa Conservation Authority (NBMCA).
“Water levels on area lakes and rivers are generally at or slightly below normal for this time of year. Moisture content in the snowpack is an average of 60.3 mm (as of Jan 2), which is above normal for this time of year,” says Angela Mills, NBMCA Flood Duty Officer. “There is also an ice lens in the snowpack from the late December melt and rains that will limit the snowpack’s ability to store rainfall. Forecasted warm temperatures and rain will trigger snow melt and increase hazardous conditions around lakes, rivers, and streams.”
