| Summary | The Department of Environment and Climate Change has a long-established partnership with the Water Survey of Canada to collect stream flow, water level and lake level measurements routinely across the territory, including at locations where there are communities at risk of flooding. A summary of these and other data and information are provided regularly to territorial and regional emergency managers to help understand the status of waterways near communities at risk of flooding in the lead-up to, and during spring break-up – the highest-risk period for flooding in the Northwest Territories. |
| Local Relevance | Water levels and flow rates remain very low across most of the NWT. There have been no significant changes across gauged rivers and lakes, and at most locations water levels and flow rates have started to decrease as fall freeze up approaches. |
