Episode Details

Montreal braces for record-breaking water levels on the Outaouais and Rivière des Prairies rivers this spring. The city has activated its special intervention plan, with sandbags and pumps deployed at key locations. The Outaouais at Carillon is currently at 6,100 cubic meters per second, and the Rivière des Prairies at Cheval Blanc rapids is at 2,400 cubic meters per second. Both rivers are expected to rise, with the Outaouais potentially reaching 7,050 cubic meters per second by April 18th. Authorities are monitoring riverbank encampments and have moved two people from Ahuntsic–Cartierville to safety. Dikes, barriers, and pumps have been set up in vulnerable areas, and roads and bridges may close soon. The mayor urges residents to stay informed and vigilant as water levels continue to rise.
