geographic diversity and complex regional microclimates. Drought is commonly subdivided into meteorological drought (rainfall deficit), soil moisture drought (below-normal soil moisture levels), and hydrological drought (below-normal (sub)surface water availability), where \u201cnormal\u201d defined by a percentile of the climatology of the variable of interest, and frequency, severity and duration of drought events evaluated. Analysis of previous droughts in British Columbia (BC) indicates that there are three major factors involved with drought occurrence: low winter snow accumulation, spring weather, and summer weather. For drought to occur, often two of the three factors need to exist. The BC Drought Response Plan is organized around four successive levels (Levels 1-4) of drought. BC\u2019s drought indicators refer to the causative factors (snow conditions, spring and summer precipitation, preceding drought) and the resultant factors (stream flow, lake and reservoir levels). Aquifer (groundwater) levels are supplemental indicators, although there are no associated quantitative thresholds.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1445769 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1445769\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fdf697d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fdf697d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Objectives:<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3798704 about-links elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3798704\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe project aims to fill this gap by partnering with the BC Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy (ENV) to co-analyze historic data (snow, precipitation, streamflow) and groundwater level data from Provincial Groundwater Observation Well Network to evaluate how the groundwater level responses in different aquifers across the mountain regions of BC vary between drought and non-drought years.

The testing of these indicators and the regulatory tools used by the Province to assess the impact of pumping on in-stream flows in the Okanagan Basin will enable their validation under drought conditions.
