STREAMFLOWS IN SASKATCHEWAN RIVER SYSTEM CONTINUE AT HIGH LEVELS

Released on June 29, 1995

As a result of recent rains experienced in the foothill regions of the
North and South Saskatchewan rivers water flows will continue at high
levels, according to the Saskatchewan Water Corporation.

Heavy rains in the foothills of Alberta in early June resulted in major
flooding in southern Alberta, including the cities of Lethbridge and
Medicine Hat. These extreme flows were effectively controlled at Lake
Diefenbaker, thus eliminating major flooding downstream of Gardiner
Dam. Much of the storage available in Lake Diefenbaker was used in
controlling these floods and the reservoir is now approaching its full
supply level.

Due to additional rains experienced in southern Alberta in the last
week, inflows to Lake Diefenbaker have again increased, requiring Sask
Water to once again make releases through the spillway at Gardiner Dam.
Water was released yesterday from the spillway. Flows in the South
Saskatchewan River downstream of Gardiner Dam will increase from 375 to
500 cubic metres per second. This adjustment in outflows will result
in a 15 to 20 centimetre rise in water levels in Saskatoon and along
the river generally.

Similarly, flows in the North Saskatchewan River will fluctuate at
levels somewhat higher than is currently experienced. These
fluctuations could result in water level increases of 15 to 20
centimetres.

Extreme caution should be used when using these rivers for recreation.
Levels and velocities are higher than normally experienced during the
summer recreation period. Ferry operations should be able to continue
at the forecasted flows.
