A new report from BC Hydro says its power generating system is meeting challenges caused by severe drought in several British Columbia regions, even as levels in some southwestern reservoirs are at or near record-breaking lows.
The B.C. government's five-level drought map shows sections of Vancouver Island and the inner south coast are at the highest ranking, meaning it is almost certain that drought in those regions will adversely affect everything from jobs to ecosystems.
The hydro report says by managing releases from reservoirs, it has safeguarded downstream water flows and protected salmon runs, even as unregulated rivers and streams have dried up, leading to significant fish kills. Long-range forecasts show a chance of rain across the south coast starting late next week but Hydro says if that doesn't happen, it will continue to closely track weather and other conditions, and adapt its operations to protect fish.
