Historic low levels forecast for Campbell system Impact on fish habitat, recreation targets feared Facing a historic shortage of water, BC Hydro is looking forward to a summer of juggling fish habitat flows in Campbell River with recreational use in the reservoir above John Hart dam. And it may not be able to satisfy either of them. “The reality is, unless we get significant rainfall from storms in the next few months, the preferred fish and recreation targets can’t be achieved,” said Stephen Watson, BC Hydro spokesman. “We’ve never seen such a low water supply forecast for May to September.” BC Hydro’s water use plan provides clear direction on flow regimes, and prescribed corrective action zones when water abundance gets low to try to balance the water conditions across the system, Watson said. But falling water flows resulting from low snowpack and dry weather are combining to aggravate those challenges. It is the second straight year with low water inflows into the Campbell River system, following consecutive winters that left precious little snowpack in the mountains.

The walk, part of a series taking place throughout the province this week, was sponsored by the Campbell River and District Division of Family Practice. A second Campbell River Walk with your Doc, sponsored by the staff of Alder Medical, was held Wednesday afternoon at Frank
James Park in Willow Point. Dr. Dieter DeBruin of Alder Medical partnered with CBI Rehabilitation in Motion in the event, and physiotherapist Tanya Kessling led a pre-walk warmup. Free pedometers were handed out to each participant at both walks. Walk with your Doc is a prov-
incewide initiative developed by Doctors of BC. The event was designed to provide an opportunity for doctors to connect with groups of patients while walking side-by-side and demonstrating their commitment to supporting patients in leading healthy lifestyles.
