Description

Welcome to Aquatic Ecosystems: The Elbow River, a field study designed for Bio 20 students. This is a curriculum-connected full-day study of the Elbow River with multidisciplinary post-activity support. The intent of this program is to provide a hands-on, engaging outdoor component, which will meet the needs of Biology 20 Unit B: Ecosystems and Population Change. This program is also written to achieve the mandate of the Alberta Government - Tourism, Parks, and Recreation and also addresses the four program goals of preservation, outdoor recreation, heritage appreciation, and heritage tourism. The field study is designed to focus on testing and studying the abiotic and biotic factors of the aquatic ecosystem. Students are challenged to predict and then discover what the factors are indicating. Students will have the opportunity to monitor the Elbow River from the pristine waters of Cobble Flats in Kananaskis Country all the way to the City of Calgary. Traveling by bus, students will...

Description

The City of Calgary, in partnership with Alberta Environment, plans to create a hydraulic model of the Bow and Elbow Rivers through Calgary, to support emergency response planning and operations through flood inundation mapping. The model will provide additional perspective on current flood hazard area management and will provide a basis for increased understanding of fish habitat, river morphology and erosion, water quality and storm water runoff impacts. The first component of the project was a hydrology study, which was contracted to Golder Associates Ltd. and is the subject of this report. The hydrology study is required to determine the flood magnitudes for Bow River and its tributaries through the city for use in the hydraulic model.
