Okanagan drought rating heats up to highest, level 5
- The Okanagan region in British Columbia has been placed under a Level 5 Drought rating, the highest possible rating, due to lack of rain, low streamflows, high water temperatures, and sustained warm weather.
- Many fish-bearing streams in the Okanagan are at historical lows, with some completely dry. This poses a threat to fish and aquatic ecosystems.
- Water conservation is crucial during this drought, and residents, industry, and businesses are urged to reduce water usage and follow watering restrictions. Agriculture in the region is also heavily affected, as crops and livestock require more water to survive in hot and dry conditions.
