As of June 7, 2026, the water level at Wasa was 769.01 masl which is 1.525m (5 feet) higher than on the same day last year.

Over the past 7 days the water has risen 0.95 meters (3 feet 1 in.).

Currently, the water is already 1.165 meters (3 feet 10 in.) higher than the peak level last year.

The volume of water added since freshet started is equal to 3.6 million cubic meters, or 3.6 billion liters which is approximately 1,440 Olympic-size swimming pools.

Kootenay River is down another 38cm (15 inches). Since its peak around May 30, the river has dropped 2.56 meters (8 feet 5 inches). This will reduce the rate at which water at Wasa continues rising.

If the river does not rise again, then the level at Wasa is nearing its peak.

Water level updates will be posted on the WLLID website every few days.
