This is the time of year that trustees and residents begin to speculate about how quickly the spring freshet will be here and whether or not we will experience high water. Watch this spot over the next few weeks for regular updates re lake and river levels. UPDATES June 10 2021 Kootenay River down to 768.30 masl (metres above sea level) and Wasa Lake up to 768.20 masl. When the river level drops lower than the lake level, then the rise in lake level will slow and stop. This statistical model suggests lake water level in 2021 will reach 768.73 masl (+ or - 0.5 metre). With a 60% accuracy, lake level would range from 768.23 to 769.23. Last year's peak was 769.42 masl which is 69 cm higher than this year's estimate. If you would like to compare 2021 to previous years, here are some some stats Water Levels 2013-2020 The Regional District of East Kootenay provides this Flood Preparedness Bulletin for rural property owners 21.04.19_seasonal_preparedness_flooding_email.pdf WATER QUALITY Results from CARO Laboratories of Wasa Lake and Cameron Pond water testing.
