REGINA – The Water Security Agency (WSA) is advising the public that operations in the Qu’Appelle River Basin may impact the ice conditions on lakes in the region.
Temperatures are expected to be above normal later this week and through the weekend. The warm temperatures are expected to result in an early snowmelt runoff in the Qu’Appelle River Basin.

The runoff potential is well below normal in the area, WSA will be operating the Craven, Echo Lake, and Crooked Lake control structures this week to store water, in an effort to bring Last Mountain, Pasqua, Echo, and Crooked Lakes near the top of their desirable summer operating ranges.
This means there will be increased water levels on these lakes. The change in the lake levels combined with thinner than normal ice will result in extremely hazardous conditions on the Qu’Appelle lakes.
