This map locates the areas of high current and low current of the Ottawa and Gatineau rivers. The low-current zone corresponds to the part of the floodplain, beyond the limit of the high-current zone, that can be flooded during a 100-year recurrent flood. The high-current zone that corresponds to the part of a floodplain that can be flooded during a 20-year recurrent flood. The floodplain corresponds to the space occupied by a lake or a watercourse during a flood period within the meaning of the Policy for the Protection of Coastal Shores and Floodplains.

A regulated flood zone is an area of land likely to be flooded and delimited by mapping or, along the St. Lawrence River, by flood ratings. On the territory of Quebec City, the only regulated and mapped flood zones are appended to the revised Land Use and Development Plan (SAD). These areas, which are added to the river's flood zone delimited by flood ratings, are subject to the special standards of the transitional regime for the management of flood zones, banks and coastlines since 1 March 2022. ATTENTION: The route indicating the boundaries of flood zones is for illustrative purposes only. Legal delimitation work must be validated in the field by a land surveyor for each property concerned.
