flag British Columbia faces severe drought due to warm weather and low snowpack, prompting a call for water conservation.

flag British Columbia is facing severe drought conditions this year due to warm, dry weather and below-normal snowpack levels. flag Minister Randene Neill is urging residents to conserve water, such as by watering lawns less and fixing leaks, as up to 70% of water use is residential. flag Despite recent rainfall, the province's snowpack was only 79% of normal by April, and Environment Canada forecasts a warmer, drier summer, especially in the Okanagan and Kootenay regions. flag A new drought tracking method will provide a more precise view of water scarcity.
