As everyone is well aware the Wolfe Lake water levels slowly and sometimes drastically decrease throughout the summer and fall. These decreases are due to a combination of evaporation and the release of water to maintain navigable water levels on the Rideau Canal. Water is released through the dam located on the south-eastern shore of Wolfe Lake. At the nearby boat launch automated equipment measures and transmits water level data to a central site. The accompanying chart shows present as well as target and conservation water levels. Present water levels are measured weekly and can be obtained through the Internet at: www.rideauvalley.on.ca. Click on “watersheds”, then on “streamflow and water levels” and finally on “Wolfe Lake at Dam” at right of screen. This will bring up the latest version of the following chart.  2009 Wolfe Lake Water Levels (actual vs rule curves)  |
