Drought level designation added to a Nelson water source by province

by Timothy Schafer Local Journalism Initiative Reporter on Friday July 30 2021 Despite the drought conditions the West Kootenay snow basin index is fairly stable at 83 per cent of normal. Last year at this time, however, it was 128 per cent.   One of the city’s water sources has been given a severe drought designation by the province as hot and dry weather continues in the region. According to BC River Forecast Centre (BCRFC) data, drought level five conditions now exist at the Anderson Creek reporting station near Nelson, as it recorded 10 per cent of its median flow over the last week. BCRFC ranks drought levels from zero to five, with drought level five rated as the most severe, with “adverse impacts to socioeconomic or ecosystem values being almost certain.”
