Description

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. This package contains the conceptual assessment’s final report and its appendices.

Description

A May 2017 report from 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. In November 2018, Environment and Parks commissioned the development of conceptual engineering designs for the three options. This package contains a brochure and materials used at public information sessions held in September and October 2019 to discuss progress on the conceptual assessments for the three options, and next steps.

Description

The report provides a high level, conceptual assessment of flood storage opportunities within the Bow River basin upstream of Calgary that would provide protection to the City of Calgary and other stakeholders from floods with a similar magnitude to the June 2013 flood event. Eleven potential flood storage locations are identified along with their characteristics and some technical information.

Description

This study was initialized to test and validate an innovative survey technique adopting the BioSonics DT-X echosounder, which has been successfully applied for surveying vegetation and sediment in many estuary and lake systems, but not for a shallow riverine system, like the Bow River in Alberta, Canada. The site for this study was selected to be a 500 meter reach on the Bow River just below the City of Calgary’s major wastewater treatment plant, the Bonnybrook Plant, where substantial levels of aquatic vegetation exist during summer. The BioSonics survey was performed three times under different growing seasons in 2010.
