Spring runoff already underway in southern Sask; no flooding expected

The province has released it spring runoff report, saying that the southern half of Saskatchewan is nearly complete.

They say that the rest of the province can expect below normal to normal runoff.

The release goes on to say that there are no areas of the province that can expect a flooding situation, noting that additional precipitation could change that.

Well above seasonal temperatures in March, mixed with lower snowfall and moisture levels have resulted in spring runoff in southern Saskatchewan being close to complete. This includes all areas south of a line extending eastward from Macklin to Saskatoon and Saskatoon to Yorkton.

The Water Security Agency says they will continue to monitor conditions and provide updates if needed.
