A May 2017 report by the Bow River Working Group provided advice on new reservoir storage on the Bow River upstream of Calgary to reduce flood and drought risk, and identified three reservoir options that warranted further study. From November 2018 to spring 2020, the Alberta government completed a conceptual assessment of the 3 water storage options.

Description

The study conducts a review of the North Saskatchewan, Beaver, and Battle River basins to identify areas where infrastructure has been constructed within flood hazard areas. The focus is on groupings of infrastructure that in the event of a major flood would require support from one or more levels of government for relief. When a significant amount of infrastructure was identified as being at risk, conceptual level mitigation measures are explored. Being a high-level study, the recommended mitigation measures are concepts that would require further study, including a cost/benefit analysis and detailed design, before they could be considered for construction.
