Watershed Condition Statement – Water Safety - March 18, 2026
Otonabee Conservation Authority
A FLOOD WATCH is in effect for the Trent-Severn Waterway within the Otonabee Region watershed. Recent warmer temperatures and precipitation in the Haliburton-Reservoir Lakes area have caused a significant increase in water runoff, leading to higher flows in rivers and streams that drain south into the Kawartha Lakes and Otonabee River. As a result, there is potential for nuisance to minor-level flooding of low-lying, flood vulnerable areas, starting this week and continuing through next week.

This FLOOD WATCH message will expire Thursday, March 26, 2026, at 3 p.m., unless up-dated earlier.
