River conditions forecasts posted on 2018-05-05 by Ottawa River Regulation Planning Board

Water levels and flows will continue to gradually increase in all areas along the river in the next few days due to significant spring runoff. Water levels are now above minor flooding levels at Chats Lake and Britannia/Lac Deschênes, and are expected to reach minor flooding at Lake Coulonge today. Minor flooding in low-lying areas is possible in the lower river reach from Hull down to the Montreal region.
