Nevertheless, the department said the dam levels “have shown resilience this week” despite the recent decrease. The province’s water level reached 100.2% last week and dropped by .2 to 100% this week.
“Both last week’s and this week’s levels are lower compared with the level of 100.8% the dams recorded at the same time last year.”
