Iqaluit declares emergency

The City of Iqaluit has declared a state of emergency due to a water shortage. The Nunavut capital says there has been a lack of precipita- tion this summer and flows in the Apex River, which is Iqaluit’s sec- ondary water source, are at a 40- year low. As a result, Lake Geral- dine, which serves as the water res- ervoir for Iqaluit, will not be replen- ished before freeze up. The city is working to get regulatory approval to pump additional water from Un- named Lake into the Apex River.
