Who controls the water level on my lake?
Many of the lakes and rivers throughout the Cataraqui watershed have dams. These dams are operated by different agencies and companies for a variety of reasons including flood control, low flow augmentation, power generation, navigation and recreation. A list of dams and their owners, by municipality, is provided here.
