History
What this means
The Rivière des Outaouais à Terrasse-Vaudreuil is running below normal at 21.51 m.
The median for mid-October is 21.74 m, based on 17 years of readings, so the water level is 0.23 m below typical.
It has barely moved over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between 21.21 m and 21.61 m.
Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that.

About the Rivière des Outaouais
The Ottawa River is a river in the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec. It is named after the Algonquin word "to trade", as it was the major trade route of Eastern Canada at the time. For most of its length, it defines the border between these two provinces. It is a major tributary of the St. Lawrence River and the longest river in Quebec.
