TSW is monitoring the snowpack and the water levels across the reservoir area. They have been replacing logs in most areas to begin bringing water levels up. To view the TSW Water Management Update – click here

From the Update:
Weather
Since late February precipitation amounts have been less than normal resulting in lower than average snow pack for this time of the year. The 14 day forecast suggest dry conditions will continue with temperatures below average and staying below 0°C overnight.
Outlook
The current conditions indicate that water levels and outflows will continue to decline at most locations.
The Trent Severn Water Management team will be actively monitoring the changing conditions. Any watershed condition updates will be released by your Conservation Authority or local Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources district.
Haliburton and Northern Areas
The Halliburton’s reservoirs are below average and continue on a slow decline. The snowpack is present and and is about 50 percent of average. The current water management operations for filling the reservoirs have begun to reduce the outflows from the reservoirs based on the projected runoff from melting snow in the watershed and below normal precipitation in the month of March.
