River condition forecast on 2018-04-03

Tendance des conditions en rivière publié le 2018-04-03 par Commission de planification de la régularisation de la rivière des Outaouais

Water levels and flows in the lower river reach of the Ottawa River (between Ottawa and the Montreal region) may increase rapidly in the next few days in response to forecast rainfall of up to 40 mm in the south east portion of the basin but will remain below flood levels. With cold weather prevailing in the central and northern parts of the basin water levels and flows elsewhere along the main stem of the river are expected to remain fairly stable over the next few days and will remain below normal for this time of year. Most reservoirs throughout the basin remain empty in preparation for the spring freshet.
