Water Conditions Statement:Safety

WATERSHED CONDITIONS STATEMENT: WATER SAFETY

Message #: 5.0
Issued on: Monday June 6, 2022 (10:00 AM)

Message:

The Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority advises that the current forecasted precipitation from
Monday June 6th to Tuesday June 7th is between 30 and 75 millimetres. However, localized storm
cells across the watershed may contribute an additional 10 to 25 mm. This would bring the total
potential precipitation to 30 to 95 millimetres for Monday and Tuesday. At this time, there is
considerable uncertainty as to the anticipated location and duration of these storm cells.

While significant flooding is not expected, rivers could reach or exceed bankfull conditions, with
potential flooding in traditional low-lying areas. More extensive flooding is possible should the
region receive rainfall amounts greater than what are currently forecast.

Recreational river users should take extra precautions, as higher water levels and faster flows are
expected to develop for the next 72 hours. This Water Safety Statement will be in effect until
4:00PM on Wednesday June 8, 2022, or until further notice.

The Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority will continue to monitor watershed conditions and will
provide updates as required.

For more information, please contact:
