Some of the emergency measures put in place to deal with this spring's major flooding are being lifted as water levels have peaked and slowly start to drop in most areas. The City of Gatineau's morning update said water levels had dropped across the city by about 10 centimetres in the last 24 hours. Pembroke, Ont., has slightly dropped since Sunday, though the highest water levels seen this spring could be yet to come early next week. The Library and Archives Canada back parking lot along the Ottawa River is flooded. Today's forecast, as the focus starts to turn from flood defence to flood cleanup, calls for drizzle in Ottawa before a warm, sunny weekend.
