Erratic Rains means “Severe” Drought Condition Continues
The drought status in the Rideau River watershed remains at “Severe” because sustained flows in the streams and rivers have not been restored.
As has been the case all summer, rainfall has been very erratic with significant amounts recorded at some monitoring stations and very little at others. There has been enough rain in the last two weeks to make many watershed residents forget that there is still a drought. Lawns are green. Farm crops are close to being ready for harvest.
