@EdwinG

I was just showing my spouse how bad the bulletins were from the Ottawa River Regulation Planning Board compared to the ones from the International Lake Ontario - Saint Lawrence River Board (ILO-SLRB).

I just looked at the Ottawa River stuff and there was no mention of flooding.

@VE2UWY Yeah… I just checked at the RVCA and they put a flood watch on the Rideau River, not Ottawa.

@EdwinG The page you linked to has a map for April 2025 warning. But from the "news" section I get this map:

And that ponts to a different page: https://www.rvca.ca/news/watershed-condition-statements/flood-watch-in-effect-for-north-gower-high-water-expected-for-entire-watershed-3

@jfmezei The page I linked to are the current conditions.

The map that you found is a reference to another page.
