River conditions forecasts posted on 2020-05-14 by Ottawa River Regulating Committee

Spring runoff in the northern portion of the basin continues to recede and principal reservoirs are being managed to reach their target summer levels. Flows and levels along the Ottawa River from Mattawa 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. This will be the last daily forecast message for the 2020 spring freshet; this service will be replaced with a weekly forecast, updated every Tuesday.
