REGINA – Saskatchewan’s Water Security Agency (WSA) says there is enough water in the province’s rivers, lakes and streams to meet domestic, irrigation, municipal, and industrial needs. The agency says in a release that reservoirs were full following the spring melt.
But it also says lake levels continue to decline due to the lack of rain.

Lake Diefenbaker is not expected to rise from its current level and inflow to the lake is well below normal due to a low snow pack and low rains in the mountains.
Flow on the South Saskatchewan River is below normal, lake levels in the Qu’Appelle are dropping, and the agency says it’s going to begin to operate control structures to try to keep lake levels up.
Last Mountain Lake, meanwhile, is expected to remain above its target range through the summer.
