Replenishing our rivers. That's one of the good news stories set to emerge from a wet fall that has been underscored by the 4-days of rainfall from Superstorm Sandy. While the storm has been very damaging in parts of the US, and Ontario, locally, it's helping to make up for a drought-like summer. The Upper Thames watershed has been stuck in a Level 2 Low Water advisory since May. But Spokesperson Steve Sauder says that could change in the days ahead. "We certainly have had some improvement for sure. But in terms of the actual long term change, that will be determined a little more once this system moves through and we'll see what happens over the coming weeks." On Wednesday, the Grand River Conservation Authority lifted their low water advisory. However, the needed rainfall is also a safety concern. Sauder says people may have become used to areas not having water flows, and he's advising parents to remind their children to stay away from local waters right now. He says the banks are slippery, and the water is cold and fast-flowing.
