CLEVER Model Forecasts
The Channel Links Evolution Efficient Routing (CLEVER) Model provides 10-day real-time flow forecasts for select locations around British Columbia. During the spring freshet season the model is updated daily during business days, and on weekends during critical periods.
WARNS Model Forecasts
The WARNS Model provides discharge and water level forecasts for the Fraser River and its major tributaries. During the spring freshet season the WARNS model is updated daily during business days, and on weekends during critical periods.
COFFEE Model Forecasts
The COastal Fall Flood Ensemble Estimation (COFFEE) Model provides a 5-day real-time flow forecasts for select watersheds in coastal British Columbia, including Vancouver Island, South Coast, Central Coast and the North-West. The COFFEE model is updated when a rainfall events occur during the autumn-winter storm season.
Low Streamflow Conditions and Forecasts

- Map of 7-Day Average Streamflow Conditions
- ELF Model 30-Day Low Streamflow Forecast (Note: The ELF Model is an empirical mathematical model without any climate data input. Therefore, the ELF Model forecasts are only the worst (lowest flow) scenarios without any rainfall during the forecast period.)
