Duteau Creek water supply report - Latest report on Duteau reservoir (June 9, 2010)

Compliments of the COLDSTREAMER:


For comparison the May 29 reservoir level is also included. Stage 2 restrictions continue to apply until reservoir level is settled. Kalamalka Lake is also getting higher as well as that of Okanagan Lake. In fact, Okanagan Lake is now higher than it was last year.

Attached graph below illustrates typical distribution of total water use in the Okanagan.



Contrary to expectation nearly all reservoirs south of Vernon are full as depicted below.

That chart showing outdoor water use is misleading, that is Okanagan wide, and usage in the far south of the valley is WAY higher than Vernon. WE are in the wettest part of the valley, and the usage here I believe is less than 10 per cent, I;ll try find the link to the study...
