How high is the water, mama?


All Photos: Bow River Shuttles

It’s 300 cms and NOT rising… at least for now.



The flow rate on the Bow River at Calgary on Tuesday morning May 24 at 9:00 am was 103.8 cms

At 6:00 pm this afternoon (Friday May 27) is was up to 308.34 cms.




The rain seems to have backed off, so for the time being, we’ve probably seen the peak flows on local rivers.

We have not experienced a runoff like this for several years. Although no one wants to see major flooding, a strong runoff is good news for our rivers and the fish that live there.

Thanks to Ted Horechka for the heads up on the river conditions at Policeman's Flats.
