	Freshwater Website: Floods (Flooding events in Canada - Northwest Territories)
		In the Northwest Territories, damaging floods generally occur during the spring breakup period as a result of ice jams.
		A close watch on community flood conditions must be maintained each year due to the delicate balance between snowpack depth and rate of melt of accumulated winter snow, rainfall during spring snowmelt, ice deterioration before breakup, and the timing and location of ice jams in the flood-prone delta.
		The timing of surges and the strength of winds are critical, as it is only in the late summer when the fetch of open water from shore to the edge of offshore ice pack is great enough for major storm surges and waves to be produced.
