Ms. Que BanhWhat is clear is that the <a href="https://beige.party/tags/KoksilahWatershed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KoksilahWatershed</a> is experiencing erratic flow levels throughout the year which is <a href="https://beige.party/tags/endangering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#endangering</a> the health of the entire <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ecosystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ecosystem</a>. , It is also clear that impacts on the <a href="https://beige.party/tags/watershed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#watershed</a> have been accentuated by <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateChange</a>. With low elevation, the watershed is losing snow earlier and has more rain in the winter leading to more floods. The current trajectory of the <a href="https://beige.party/tags/KoksilahRiver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KoksilahRiver</a> is dire and will impact everyone in the entire watershed." <a href="https://beige.party/tags/GroundwaterExtraction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GroundwaterExtraction</a> has the most impact during low flow times of the year, when salmon depend on cooling groundwater inflows for their survival. If wells are drawing from shallow aquifers closely connected to the river, groundwater extraction will immediately reduce in-stream flows. In 2017, 2018 and 2019, in-stream flows in the Koksilah were forecast to become dangerously low, and provincial managers requested voluntary reductions in water use. In each of these years, an order to cease water diversion was under preparation in case voluntary efforts were not enough. In August 2019, a Fish Population Protection Order was issued under the Water Sustainability Act"Gower, T. & arroso, A.
