REGINA — Saskatchewan’s Water Security Agency said April 3 that it expects most of the province’s reservoirs to fill this spring.
The agency said 33 of the 45 major reservoirs are near full or will fill, and six more are between 70 and 90 percent full and still filling. The remaining six that won’t fill are in the southwest.
WSA repeated that Lake Diefenbaker, the largest reservoir and supplier of more than 60 percent of the province’s water, contains a good supply. It is more than one metre higher than this time last year and 1.5 metres higher than in early April 2022.

The lake is just above its normal historical average and about 80 percent full, according to a map on the WSA website.
