River conditions forecasts posted on 2020-05-11 by Ottawa River Regulating Committee

Spring runoff in the northern portion of the basin is slowly receding and filling principal reservoirs in those regions. In Mattawa, levels and flows are expected to decrease rapidly today, with a gradual decrease over the next few days. Flows and levels along the Ottawa River from Pembroke to the Montreal region are expected to continue to decrease gradually over the next few days. The general trend, for the full length of the river, is for a steady decrease in flows and levels as the remaining spring runoff in the basin recedes.
