	English Brochure
		Flooding along the Ottawa River, its tributaries and in areas near its confluence with the St. Lawrence River are not a recent phenomenon.
		Since reservoirs provide the greatest flood control protection in the Ottawa River basin, one might assume that existing reservoirs in the middle or upper reaches could be enlarged or new reservoirs constructed to provide additional protection; but costs would be high in comparison to benefits.
		In brief, the range of activities of the new board and its agencies is to obtain technical information and forecast the weather and runoff conditions throughout the basin so as to minimize the adverse impact of high/low flows and levels on the riparians' properties, and to maximize the benefits.
