Haliburton and Northern Areas
Water levels and flows remain high in northern areas. Most lake levels on the Gull River system are above full and expected to increase as a result of the forecasted rain amounts. Most lake levels on the Burnt River system are near full and expected to increase as a result of the forecasted rain amounts. Most Central Lakes are near full. Lake levels are monitored on a 24 hour basis and operational activities are currently conducted and based on the current watershed conditions, lake levels, estimated runoff amounts and forecasted rainfall. The flows on Gull River and Burnt River are very high and expected to remain high sustained by the enhanced runoff from precipitation.
