Alouette Reservoir Projects

Due to impacts associated with damming, nutrient levels in Alouette Lake are low. The Alouette Reservoir Fertilization Project regularly provides supplemental nutrients to the lake to restore the reservoir to its historical productivity. The fertilization project is reviewed on a 5-year basis to confirm that the project is continuing to meet its productivity objectives. As long as the project continues to be successful in maintaining aquatic productivity, BC Hydro will continue to support fertilization of the lake.
