River condition forecast on 2016-01-22

River conditions forecasts posted on 2016-01-22 by Ottawa River Regulation Planning Board

Water levels on the main stem of the Ottawa River between Gatineau and Grenville have stabilized but remain elevated due to ice obstructions in combination with high flows. Water levels are above the minor flooding threshold at many locations on this reach of the river and are expected to remain high over the coming week. Flows are expected to continue to decrease slowly but will remain above seasonal averages for the next few weeks.
