In the event of a full blockage, Metro could release more water from Cleveland Dam. That could have consequences for the Capilano Reservoir, which is just now beginning to refill after the summer’s drought, but Arnold-Smith said it’s something they were prepared to do. “It wasn’t fully blocked, but we were very keen to take swift action to ensure that water would continue to flow downstream, so that the salmon habitat would be protected,” he said.
