The rainfall is expected to make its way through the drainage system over the next few days.The City of Enderby says the river is forecast to hit its second, smaller, peak on Tuesday (June 16) and then resume its downward trend. The June 16 peak will not be as high as the peak on June 5.
“The Shuswap River flow rate is currently 419 cubic metres per second and has a level of 4.70 metres. By way of comparison, on June 5, flow rates were 459 cubic metres per second and levels were 4.920 metres. On June 11, flow rates were 336 cubic metres per second and levels were 4.25 metres,” said a city news release.
The BC River Forecast Centre is continuing to maintain a High Streamflow Advisory for the Shuswap River, as flooding at low-lying levels is occurring.
