There is a 53km2 region in the southwest portion of the RDKB that is located in the Okanagan River watershed, covered by the Nine Mile Creek watershed (a tributary to the Okanagan River).
The Nine Mile Creek watershed covers the RDOS, and enters the US before it feeds into the Okanagan River.
RDKB had a Drought Management Plan produced by Associated Engineering for the RDKB portion of the Nine Mile Creek watershed. A public meeting will be held in November to present this to the residents of this watershed. The RDKB has no authority to regulate water or water use in the Nine Mile Creek watershed, this report is for information only and outlines the best information we had available at the time of the review. This document is to be considered a living document, and new information will be added as it becomes available and RDKB has capacity to update the document.
