OBWB encourages continued water conservation as it hands out ‘Make Water Work’ prizes
Though the hot weather has passed, the Okanagan Basin Water Board (OBWB) continues to encourage people to conserve water.
The Ministry of Water, Land and Resource Stewardship ranked the Okanagan at Drought Level 2 for the seventh consecutive week Thursday, Oct. 17.
Under Level 2, conditions are unlikely to create adverse impacts to socio-economic and ecosystem values, though water conservation is still encouraged.
The OBWB advised those recommendations be followed as people start to winterize their irrigation systems and farmers harvest their fall crops.
