The Planning Board was established to ensure integrated management of the principal reservoirs of the Ottawa River Basin:
Levels and flows have started increasing along the main stem of the Ottawa River upstream of Lake Coulonge due to precipitation received in the basin over the last few days.

Above average conditions are to be expected in most locations over the coming week.
