Late-summer drought alert situation continues
GREGG CHAMBERLAIN gregg.chamberlain@eap.on.ca
Thewater situation in two areas of the South Nation River watershed has not improved yet as the end of summer approaches. A severe drought alert remains in effect for the Bearbrook and Upper South Nation/ Spencerville areas. The SouthNation Conservation Authority (SNC) declared a level III drought condition alert for the two subwatersheds earlier this month. The rest of the South Nation watershed remains at level II drought status as declared in July. Level III means “severe drought conditions”, where the water level in that section of the South Nation River and tributaries within the area can pose potential problems for both fish spawning habitats, and for neighbouring plant and tree growth. This can also spinoff into problems for some wildlife and waterfowl. It also may present problems for any adjacent farmlands which depend on either the South Nation River or one of its tributaries as part of their irrigation systems. Residences in these subwatersheds, which depend on wells for their water sources, may experience extreme low-water or periodic dry well situations. Despite recent rainfall, water level conditions in both these subwatersheds remain at 30 per cent of the normal flow for

this time of year.The rest of the SouthNation watershed is at half its normal flow for the summer season. Current weather forecasts indicate no “significant rainfall” expected in the next couple of weeks. SNC staff have beenmaking the rounds of municipal council sessions in the Prescott- Russell region and other areas contained
within the South Nation River watershed. Staff have explained how the SNCmonitors water level conditions and determines when to declare either a Level I, II or III low-water situation. Level I is a “mild” low-water situation while Level II is “moderate”. The SNC does not have the authority to impose water use restrictions on residents and business owners within the watershed,
but it can and will advise voluntary water conservation measures when Level II or III conditions exist. Municipalities within the watershed can imposemandatory water-use restrictions if the councils decide they are necessary. Residents should consult their local municipal office if water restrictions are in effect.The SNC has advice on reducing water use on its website at ǁǁǁ͘ŶĂƟŽŶ͘ŽŶ͘ĐĂ .
