Low Lake Water

Observation: Dry conditions in Southcentral Alaska have resulted in low lake levels including here on the ANTHC campus. Low water is a concern for wildlife, navigation, and community water supply. At ANTHC we are interested in learning more about how low snowpack and dry conditions are impacting surface waters and in particular community water security. There are indications of water conservation occurring in Anchorage and other communities around Alaska. Mike Brubaker, Center for Climate and Health, ANTHC

LEO says: Low water conditions have been reported in other parts of Alaska, in some cases impacting community water supply. See this link (link), to a recent newspaper article about water rationing in Juneau Alaska.
