Low Water Status

Historically, periods of dry weather and low water levels or drought have been relatively uncommon in Ontario (about every 10-15 years). However, recent studies on changing weather patterns indicate low water levels may become more common, potentially compounded by the province's steadily increasing demands for water.

	NORMAL
	LEVEL I - Low Water Condition Low water condition is the first of three levels and is the first indication of a potential water supply problem.
	LEVEL II - Low water Condition Suggests a potentially serious problem.
	LEVEL III - Low water Condition Represents the most severe drought condition and indicates that the water supply can no longer meet the demand.
