  • Hydraulic Modelling and Inundation Mapping
    April 2012 BOW AND ELBOW RIVER UPDATED HYDRAULIC MODEL PROJECT Hydraulic Modelling and Inundation Mapping Submitted to: Frank Frigo City of Calgary, Water Centre Mail Code #428 625 - 25 Avenue SE Calgary, Alberta, T2P 2M5 Peter Onyshko Alberta Environment and Water 11th Floor, Oxbridge Place 9820 106 Street NW Edmonton, Alberta, T5K 2J6 Report Number: 09-1326-1026.7000 Distribution: REPORT 5 copies City of Calgary 5 copies Alberta Environment and Water 1 copy Golder Associates Ltd. BOW AND ELBOW RIVER UPDATED HYDRAULIC MODEL Executive Summary The City of Calgary (The City), in partnership with Alberta Environment and Water (AEW), engaged Golder Associates Ltd. (Golder) to undertake this Bow and Elbow River Updated Hydraulic Model Project. After the flood event in June 2005, The City and AEW conducted a detailed review of the recorded high watermarks (HWMs) associated with this flood event along the Bow and Elbow River reaches. It was found that a significant discrepancy exists between the observed maximum water levels and those that are simulated using the 1983 HEC-2 model (The City, March 2009). To address this discrepancy, The City and AEW decided to update the existing hydraulic model originally prepared in 1983 and modified in 1996. The objective of this study is to develop a new HEC-RAS hydraulic model for the Bow and Elbow River reaches through The City based on recent river channel survey data and flow and water level measurements. This model was used to prepare the flood inundation maps for the 1:5, 1:10, 1:20, 1:50 and 1:100 year flood events.
