The Okanagan Basin Water Board (OBWB) wants the province to do more to prevent flooding on Okanagan Lake.
OBWB has fired off a letter to the province urgently requesting a review of how it manages Okanagan lake levels in an effort to address the worst effects of climate change.
Municipal governments from across the Okanagan have sent letters of support for the review.
“We’re very concerned about the current lake level management and the risks of extreme flooding in the future,” OBWB executive director Anna Warwick Sears explained in a press release. “This is a serious problem we are facing. This is not hype.”
Okanagan region is at risk of extreme flooding if province doesn t update lake level management, says OBWB - Kelowna News
