Alberta reservoirs rise but remain below 2023 levels
Southern Alberta’s largest reservoirs are about 61 percent full, roughly 480 000 acre feet, still 130 000 acre feet below last year. May rainfall boosted storage but runoff remains weak due to a below average snowpack. SMRID warns 2024 irrigation allocations stay eight inches per farm, despite ongoing precipitation. Medicine Hat reports one of May’s wettest spells in 120 years, with soils recovering province wide and some areas now above normal for this time of year.
