River conditions forecasts posted on 2016-03-16 by Ottawa River Regulation Planning Board

Inflows in the southern portion of the basin are expected to increase gradually due to warming temperatures and forecast rainfall over the next few days. Water levels and flows will increase in the southern section of the main stem of the Ottawa River and will remain above normal over the coming week. Water levels are unusually high between Cumberland and Grenville, due to ice cover, resulting in minor flooding for this portion of the river.
