The Water Security Agency (WSA) has released their Spring Runoff Report for 2025.
Most of central and southern Saskatchewan should expect a normal to above normal runoff due to the high amount of snowpack. Most of the major water reservoirs in southern Saskatchewan are at or above normal levels for the time of year and are expected to be near normal levels following the spring runoff.
"Over the winter, we have seen moisture conditions improve in parts of the province with higher than forecasted snowpack particularly across the south-central area of the province," said Minister Responsible for the Water Security Agency Daryl Harrison. "This, combined with overwinter operating plans at reservoirs designed to retain water supplies, means water supply conditions have improved over last year."
Snowfall throughout early spring, and the melt rate, can significantly impact spring runoff. Long-range forecasts are predicting normal levels of precipitation and near normal temperatures across Saskatchewan from March to May.
