Abstract/Description or Keywords Given an expected drought in 1988, this report summarizes the 5 previous years of runoff from selected tributaries with respect to mean runoff. A frequency analysis of low runoff years from the east and west side of Okanagan Lake is provided as well as for April to June net inflows to Okanagan Lake. The summary tables are of little use since they are out of date and can be simply extracted from Water Survey of Canada records. The frequency analysis provides a first approximation that should be confirmed with additional information that has been collected since 1988.
