Water Security Agency not expecting spring flooding in Sask.

Saskatchewan’s Water Security Agency said Friday there currently aren’t any areas in the province that face flooding this spring.

In a media release, the agency said snowmelt runoffs already are near completion in most of the southern half of Saskatchewan and the WSA isn’t expecting above-normal flows to develop.

The rest of the province is expected to see below-normal or normal runoff levels this spring.

The agency’s report said above-normal temperatures in March and lower snowpack and moisture levels led to the early start and/or completion of the spring runoff in the south.

While central areas did receive near-normal to above-normal precipitation in March, that only increased the runoff in those regions from below normal to near normal.

The rest of the province should see below-normal runoff, the agency said.
