Ottawa River Water Levels Slightly Dip

0:00It's April 23rd. You're listening to Calgary News today, AI-powered local news. I'm Corey with the story. Water levels on the Ottawa River are finally showing some small signs of dropping between Pembroke, Ontario, and Carrione, Quebec, according to the River's planning board. From Ottawa's Britannia area, all the way downstream to Thurso, Quebec, levels have dipped by just a few centimeters based on Thursday's forecast. While spots closer to Pembroke saw a rise of about 5 centimeters. This comes as snow melt speeds up in the northern watershed, pushing more water through reservoirs and into the river. Officials note that folks along the river have been watching closely amid spring-fletting worries, but these minor changes offer a bit of relief. Downstream without using upstream pressures yet. A second peak could still hit if northern snow melt ramps up or rain rolls in, so the boards keeping a sharp eye on it all. Stay tuned for updates as things flow.
