river control structures. Ontario's flood warning system is at the present time 

 unique in Canada. 



A basic feature of the flood warning system is close co-operation between 

 the Federal Government department which is responsible for weather forecasts 

 and the Provincial Government department responsible for river control. The 

 Meteorological Branch of the Canada Department of Transport is responsible 

 for weather forecasting. It issues the necessary weather data, weather forecasts 

 and warnings of severe weather conditions. The Conservation Authorities Branch 

 applies this weather information to existing conditions in the watersheds and 

 issues flood forecasts based on the correlation of these two types of information.
