River conditions forecasts posted on 2021-03-16 by Ottawa River Regulating Committee

Major reservoirs throughout the Ottawa River basin are close to empty in preparation for the spring freshet. Inflows in the south and central parts of the basin are expected to increase gradually due to the warming temperatures. Water levels and flows along the main stem of the river are expected to begin to increase slowly later in the week and should remain close to seasonal values.
