Low Water Advisories
Conservation Authorities throughout Ontario have been delegated the responsilbility by the Ministry of Natural Resources to coordinate Water Response Teams organized on a watershed basis.
Ontario has experienced lower than average precipitation and low water levels since 1998. some Great Lake water levels (Superior, Huron) have been lower than they have been for many years, and tributary flow has decreased.
Ontario Low Water Response is intended to ensure provincial preparedness, to assist in co-ordination and to support local response in the event of a drought. This plan is based on existing legislation and regulations and builds on existing relationships between the province and local government bodies.
