  • Floods in the Oldman River Valley at Lethbridge
    O ^ 0 .,_ ( FLOODS IN THE OLDMAN RIVER VALLEY AT LETHBRIDGE Alex Johnston Sir Alexander Gait Museum Lethbridge, Alberta MA INC GB 1989 1399.5 C3 '-r- 'H J64 1989 FLOODS IN THE OLDMAN RIVER VALLEY The Oldman River rises from an alpine lake on Mt. Lyall and flows through the foothilis to the plains of eastern Alberta, draining 6,238 sq. mi. and serving 125,000 people. Along with its principal tributaries, the Oldman River is dependant upon meltwater originating In the Rocky Mountains. Approximately 60 per cent of the Oldman's flow passes through the system from mid-May to Mid-July. The basin supplies water to nine of the province's 13 irrigation districts; two of those nine districts (the Lethbridge Northern and St. Mary's) account for nearly half of the 1.2 million acres of irrigated land in Alberta. The time of deposition of the higher terraces in the Oldman River valley at Lethbridge Is not known with certainty. But it is likely that basal sediments, such as those on which the original Fort Whoop-Up stood, began to be deposited in the late 1500s at the end of the Little Ice Age Climatic Episode [a post-Wisconsin period of mountain glacier-building called the Neoglaciation]. A warming trend at that time resulted in the release of snow and glacial meltwaters. The meltwaters, combined with increased spring rainfall, resultedZm higher flood stages, higher sediment loads, and increased deposition. An archaeological site, this one downriver from Lethbridge northeast of Coaldale, has yielded information on flooding of the Oldman River.
