It's hot and water is where the fun's at - but water isn't always friendly.
The Bureau of Reclamation urges those enjoying our nation's lakes and reservoirs to use extreme caution during this time of dangerously high water conditions.
Reclamation reminds recreationists to always be knowledgeable of the water environment you are in and pay attention to potential hazards, such as: deep and shallow areas, currents, depth changes, obstructions and where entry and exit points are located.
Children or inexperienced swimmers should always wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved personal flotation device or life-jacket when around water.
