An initial historical review of potential detention and diversion sites on the Elbow River provided twelve possible options that could be implemented to mitigate for both flood and drought. Of the twelve identified historical detention and diversion sites it is recommended that the Priddis Creek diversion be seriously considered as an option for flood and drought mitigation. The Priddis Creek diversion is designed to mitigate for flooding upstream of Bragg Creek and the City of Calgary using the natural creek bed and low lying topographical areas for channeling the water flows. By using natural topography the Priddis Creek diversion has a greater potential to slow down the water; subsequently reducing peak flows. It is also recommended that the historical resevoir sites identifed by the Department of Interior in the 1890s, along with the McLean Site, should be further investigated for feasibility. These storage sites are recommended due to their use of natural topography and their ability to mitigate for flooding upstream of Bragg Creek and the City of Calgary. In order to ensure that all the flood mitigation options are considered for all watersheds throughout Alberta, Alberta WaterSMART recommends further investigation into all mitigation options by continuing to undertake this type of historical analysis for all watersheds throughout Alberta. 3 Introduction Alberta was devastated by the Great Flood of June 2013. Countless families, homes, businesses, properties, infrastructures and shared lands were affected. Following the immediate and necessary response and recovery efforts undertaken, the GoA is carefully identifying, considering and assessing the appropriate actions to mitigate, manage and help control future flooding events. Numerous ideas, proposals, and mitigation strategies are currently being assessed for feasibility and will be subject to final approval by the GoA. Within the Elbow River watershed, there are historical maps, reports and investigations that contain information with respect to detention and diversion sites that were proposed for use in flood and drought mitigation strategies. Some of these sites were studied to the point where engineering schematics were completed. For a variety of reasons, these proposed mitigation strategies were never carried through to implementation. The purpose of this study is to review historical records to identify previously proposed detention and diversion sites, and determine if these historical sites have any merit for further investigation and consideration by the GoA as an alternative and or complement to other mitigation options currently being reviewed. Note that detailed historical records exist for all of Alberta, but for the purposes of this study, the historical review will be limited to the Elbow River watershed upstream of the City of Calgary and Bragg Creek. Upon reviewing the past 100 to 110 years of historical documentation WaterSMART Solutions Ltd. (WaterSMART) uncovered a number of possible options that could be implemented as a part of a comprehensive plan for both flood and drought mitigation. In 2008, the GoA conducted a study on potential diversion and detention sites throughout all watersheds within Alberta. This study was entitled the 2008 Water for Life Assessment of Potential Water Storage and Diversion Scenarios (GoA, 2008). In this report all historical diversion and detention sites identified on the Elbow River during this review were compared to the 2008 Report to determine if they have previously been considered for feasibility. 1. Historical Review The chronological timeline of proposed historical detention and diversion sites located on the Elbow River is described below. It should be noted that while some concepts were originally identified for drought mitigation, and others were identified for flood mitigation, the various proposals offer the potential to address both drought and flood mitigation when considered as part of a comprehensive plan. 4 The Department of the Interior reservoir sites and the Calgary Irrigation Company canal/Pirmez diversion were originally developed for drought mitigation during the late 1890s. Over the past 50 years, these ideas have continued to be mentioned in flood mitigation reports developed on the Elbow. The Priddis Creek diversion, along with the Ford, Mitchell, Sarcee and McLean detention sites were all projects put forward over the last 100 to 110 years for flood mitigation on the Elbow River. 1.1 Calgary Irrigation Company The Calgary Irrigation Company was established by William Pearce who was a strong advocate of irrigation as a solution to the periodic droughts that affected the prairie west. The Company intended to provide water to the Town of Calgary and irrigation water to its immediate surroundings (Gilpin, 2010) (see Figure 1). 1.1.1 Pirmez Diversion This diversion was first conceptualized by the Calgary Irrigation Company in the 1890s (Figure 1). It was subsequently constructed before the turn of the century and is still operable today. The beginning of the Pirmez diversion is located on the Elbow River approximately two kilometres (kms) upstream of the Highway 22 and Highway 8 intersection (Map 1, attached). The diversion flows east approximately 21 kms, intersects and joins Six Mile Coulee, and then divides into two separate legs; one leg flows northeast for approximately 27 km where it terminates in the Bow River, and the other legs flows approximately 42 km southeast terminating in the Highwood River. The total route, including both legs, is approximately 90 kms (Map 1 attached). It is important to note

From that humble beginning was born Banff National Park, Canada's first national park and the world's third. Spanning 6,641 square kilometres (2,564 square miles) of valleys, mountains, glaciers, forests, meadows and rivers, Banff National Park is one of the world's premier destination spots. In Banff’s early years, The Canadian Pacific Railway built the Banff Springs Hotel and Chateau Lake Louise, and attracted tourists through extensive advertising. In the early 20th century, roads were built in Banff, at times by war internees, and through Great Depression-era public works projects. Since the 1960s, park accommodations have been open all year, with annual tourism visits to Banff increasing to over 5 million in the 1990s. Millions more pass through the park on the Trans-Canada Highway. As Banff is one of the world's most visited national parks, the health of its ecosystem has been threatened.

  • The Little Bow Gets Bigger – Alberta's Newest River
    ALBERTA WILDERNESS Article ASSOCIATION Wild Lands Advocate 13(1): 14 - 17, February 2005 The Little Bow Gets Bigger – Alberta’s Newest River Dam By Dr. Stewart B. Rood, Glenda M. Samuelson and Sarah G. Bigelow The Little Bow/Highwood Rivers Project includes Alberta’s newest dam and provides the second major water project to follow the Oldman River Dam. The controversy surrounding the Oldman Dam attracted national attention that peaked in about 1990, and legal consideration up to the level of the Supreme Court over federal versus provincial jurisdiction and the nature and need for environmental impact analysis. A key outcome was that while environmental matters are substantially under provincial jurisdiction, rivers involve fisheries, navigation, and First Nations issues that invoke federal responsibility. As a consequence, any major water management project in Canada requires both provincial and federal review. At the time of the Oldman Dam Project, three other proposed river projects in Alberta had received considerable support and even partial approval. Of these, the Pine Coulee Project was the first to advance, probably partly because it was expected to be the least controversial and complex. That project involved the construction of a small dam on Willow Creek, about an hour south of Calgary. A canal from that dam diverts water to be stored in a larger, offstream reservoir in Pine Coulee. That water would then be available for release back into Willow Creek during the late summer when flows are naturally low but irrigation demands are high. Pine Coulee was generally a dry prairie coulee and reservoir flooding did not inundate riparian woodlands or an extensive stream channel.

The "serious" adjective is generally prepended to refer to video games used by industries like defense, education, scientific exploration, health care, emergency management, city planning, engineering, and politics.” 4 5 The three inflow channels provide natural water supply into the model. The three inflow channels are the Bow River just downstream of the Bearspaw Dam and the inflows from the Elbow and Highwood River tributaries. The downstream end of the model is the junction with the Oldman River which then forms the South Saskatchewan River. The model includes the Glenmore Reservoir located on the Elbow River, upstream of the junction with the Bow River. 6 The Tutorial Mode consists of two interactive tutorials. The first tutorial introduces stakeholders to water management concepts and the second tutorial introduces the users to the Bow River Sim. The tutorials are guided by “Wheaton” an animated stalk of wheat who guides the users through the tutorials. 7 - Exploration Mode lets people play freely with sliders, etc, and see what the results are. - The Challenge Mode explores the concept of goal-oriented play which helps users further explore and learn about the WRMM model and water management. In Challenge Mode, the parameters that could be changed were limited, and the stakeholders are provided with specific learning objectives. Three challenges are introduced in this order: Reservoir Challenge, Calgary Challenge and Priority Challenge. 8 9 Flood Hazard Identification Program Objectives 10 Overview of our flood mapping web application – Multiple uses Supports internal and external groups Co-funded by Government of Alberta and Government of Canada through the National Disaster Mitigation program.

  • Water Storage Opportunities in the South Saskatchewan River Basin in Alberta
    Water Storage Opportunities in the South Saskatchewan River Basin in Alberta Submitted to: Submitted by: SSRB Water Storage Opportunities AMEC Environment & Infrastructure, Steering Committee a Division of AMEC Americas Limited Lethbridge, Alberta Lethbridge, Alberta 2014 amec.com WATER STORAGE OPPORTUNITIES IN THE SOUTH SASKATCHEWAN RIVER BASIN IN ALBERTA Submitted to: SSRB Water Storage Opportunities Steering Committee Lethbridge, Alberta Submitted by: AMEC Environment & Infrastructure Lethbridge, Alberta July 2014 CW2154 SSRB Water Storage Opportunities Steering Committee Water Storage Opportunities in the South Saskatchewan River Basin Lethbridge, Alberta July 2014 Executive Summary Water supply in the South Saskatchewan River Basin (SSRB) in Alberta is naturally subject to highly variable flows. Capture and controlled release of surface water runoff is critical in the management of the available water supply. In addition to supply constraints, expanding population, accelerating economic growth and climate change impacts add additional challenges to managing our limited water supply. The South Saskatchewan River Basin in Alberta Water Supply Study (AMEC, 2009) identified re-management of existing reservoirs and the development of additional water storage sites as potential solutions to reduce the risk of water shortages for junior license holders and the aquatic environment. Modelling done as part of that study indicated that surplus water may be available and storage development may reduce deficits. This study is a follow up on the major conclusions of the South Saskatchewan River Basin in Alberta Water Supply Study (AMEC, 2009). It addresses the provincial Water for Life goal of “reliable, quality water supplies for a sustainable economy” while respecting interprovincial and international apportionment agreements and other legislative requirements.
