Drought Bulletin – July 17, 2025

Let’s talk water! Despite some recent sprinkles, our region is still officially at ๐ƒ๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก๐ญ ๐‹๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ฅ ๐Ÿ‘, and the Similkameen just moved to a ๐‹๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ฅ ๐Ÿ’!

This means our streams are struggling with low flows and warm temps, impacting our fishy friends. Now more than ever, ๐ฐ๐š๐ญ๐ž๐ซ ๐œ๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐ž๐ซ๐ฏ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ค๐ž๐ฒ!

Remember, conditions can vary in each community, so the best info comes from your local water supplier! Ex: West Kelowna and the RDCO recently changed watering restrictions in those communities.
