	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.
