What happened
The City of Kimberley secured $400,000 for a two-year project designed to study how severe wildfires could affect its drinking water supply. Kimberley's drinking water comes from the Mark Creek and Matthew Creek watersheds. The project addresses concerns raised by the 2018 Meachen Creek fire, as severe wildfires could impact the quality and availability of the city's water long after the fires are extinguished.

Why it matters
The study aims to identify risks to the water supply and find ways to reduce them without creating new problems for the resource. The need for this research is highlighted by the Matthew Creek wildfire, which prompted an evacuation alert for the entire city.
