During ex- tremely hot, dry periods down 5 percent' which we are experiencing now, up to one-half the week- ly loss in storage from the reservoirs is due to evapora- tion, while the other half is water drawn off for the Trent-Severn Waterway. The dry spell of the last few weeks was broken by scattered thunderstorms oc- curring from July 24th to 26th, which dumped from 6mm to 50mm of rain across the Trent-Severn Watershed.
