Coming soon to a river near you...

Click directly on the graphs for larger image

The spring runoff on the Bow River has begun at Lake Louise and Banff. In fact, it appears from the graphs that we are about 2 weeks ahead of the long term averages. We are already at levels that we would not normally see until around June 01. 



They have not yet begun opening the dams above Calgary, and as a result, the flow rate at Calgary is still very low, with a small upward trend beginning to show. However, that flow rate could increase at any time, and very quickly.
