Flooding
Description
Causes of flooding : heavy rainfall, a burst water main, sewer backup, or rising water levels—whether during the spring snowmelt or at other times in winter. A rapid and significant rise in water levels may also occur in the event of a dam failure.
The risk of flooding is particularly high along the shores of Lac des Deux Montagnes and the Rivière des Prairies. Certain neighborhoods on the Island of Montréal are also more vulnerable to flooding, as water tends to accumulate more easily in these areas.
