Ottawa Flood Plain Map
If you live in the city of Ottawa, and want to know if you are in the flood plain, the city of ottawa has a great online map. You can find it at the following link. To use it, you need to have java enabled, and enable the flood plain view since it is not enabled by default.
After you log in, you can zoom in, or just enter your address, and it will automatically zoom in on your address. Once you have zoomed in, just click on the 2008 Draft Comprehensive Zoning Bylaw radio button, and you will see the flood plain on the map.
I am sure that the map is getting lots of hits from people living along the Rideau, Jock River, and and South of Manotick. It turns out that part of my property is in the flood plain.
