Hot temperatures with little rain is causing water levels to drop on the Mackenzie River, according to an N.W.T. hydrologist. 

“Extreme hot conditions have led to a lot of evaporation. There’s not a lot of water to move to the rivers, and there’s also very little precipitation,” said Ryan Connon, a hydrologist with the territorial government.
