Reduced winter snowfall may lower Spokane River levels, affecting recreation and fish habitats.

Less snowfall this winter due to warmer temperatures could lead to lower water levels in the Spokane River during summer, impacting recreational activities and harming fish habitats. Typically, the river flows faster in winter and spring, slowing in summer. With less snow, spring runoff will be reduced, potentially straining the aquifer which supports both the river and domestic water needs.
