Water Level Explanations

	Normal Generally indicates low flow to base flow conditions. It should be noted that during Normal flow conditions, the inherent risk to personal safety associated with flowing water still exists.
	Level 1 Flows are below 70 percent of their normal summer low flow. Water users are asked to reduce their consumption by 10 per cent.
	Level 2 Flows are below 50 percent of their normal summer low flow. Water users are asked to reduce their consumption by 20 per cent.
	Level 3 Flows are below 30 percent of their normal summer low flow and there is potential for economic harm to water takers and/or significant harm to the ecosystem. The Water Response Team may ask the province to impose mandatory restrictions on those holding Permits to Take Water.
