Water, water, everywhereWater levels in the area began to ease off with Friday night’s drop in temperature. “By end of day Saturday, the water levels in the watershed had started to subside,” stated Mike Smith, water technician for the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority. Smith told the Times reporter on Monday, that while they don’t expect more snow this spring, there is still snow in the headwaters. High rainfall could still cause risk of flooding at this time of year, according to Smith. The soil in the watershed is saturated and cannot absorb additional water.
