  • 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.

    1 2 3 A serious game “is a game designed for a primary purpose other than pure entertainment. 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.

  • Bow River Recreational Access Ghost Dam to Bearspaw Reservoirs. Introduction
    Calgary River Users’ Alliance Bow River Recreational Access Ghost Dam to Bearspaw Reservoirs. Introduction Outdoor recreational pursuits have increased in popularity in recent years with access to suitable venues close to the urban populations being one of the most important needs. Calgary and surrounding communities have access to a wide variety of outdoor pursuits with the Bow River and its tributaries offering a venue for paddle sports such as canoeing and kayak as well as fishing. But river recreational access is not without restraints. problems. Access to public waterways is often across privately owned land or under restricted access agreements within city and provincial property. In 2016 the City of Calgary addressed their concerns with the development of the Calgary River Access Strategy (RAS) (1) whereby a total of 12 designated river access sites were considered for improvements or new river access developments. To date two major projects have been completed, an upgrade to West Baker Park in the northwest quadrant of Calgary and a new boat ramp at Ogden Bridge. The Government of Alberta followed suit with the Bow River Access Plan (BRAP) (2) that addressed river access improvements between Fish Creek Provincial Park in Calgary and Johnson Island Provincial Park property at Carseland. Within the scope of the BRAP major improvements have been made to Policeman’s Flats in 2018 and a new road to McKinnon Flats in 2020. Also, the Harvie Passage Whitewater Park was developed in Calgary and other river recreational facilities are planned. Upstream of Calgary, the 50 Km reach of the Bow River between Ghost Reservoir and Bearspaw Reservoir has the potential to alleviate the ever-increasing river recreational use on the lower Bow River.

  • Exploring the Vastness of Banff National Park
    Exploring the Vastness of Banff National Park By Claire Walter o borrow on old Ttravelogue cliché, Alberta’s Banff National Park is study in contrast. Its 2,586 square miles comprise both wilderness and civilization. There are high mountains, deep valleys, endless forests and abundant wildlife. Even though much of it feels and looks remote, it is just 70 miles from Calgary – and the Trans-Canada Highway runs right through it. It contains one large town (Banff), one smaller town (Lake Louise Village), two palatial hotels (the Fairmont Banff Springs and Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise) and three significant downhill ski areas (Ski Lake Louise, Sunshine and Norquay). It is a park among parks, with Kootenay National Park just to the south, Yoho National Park to the west (and in another province) and Jasper National Park to the north. It is Canada’s oldest national park and also the one with phenomenal snowshoe opportunities. It’s a great destination for a snowshoe getaway or a multi-activity winter vacation with snowshoeing among the options. There’s skiing (Alpine and Nordic), wildlife viewing, spa- hopping and enjoying the shops, galleries, restaurants and nightspots in Banff or quieter Lake 1 Go FartherTM Model: ARTICA™ BACKCOUNTRY q Two-Piece Articulating Frame q Virtual Pivot Traction Cam q Quick-Cinch™ One-Pull Binding q 80% Recyclable Materials, No PVC’s eastonmountainproducts.com ©2010 easton mountain products Louise Village.
