Flood Watch Issued for B.C.'s East Kootenay Region Ahead of Weekend Storm

A large storm is arriving Friday in southern Alberta, coinciding with the twelfth anniversary of Calgary's 2013 flood.
Much of southern Alberta suffers from drought and low river levels, but recent flood mitigation aims to reduce risk.
Rainfall between 50 and 100 mm is expected in Calgary, with up to 200 mm possible in some southwestern areas.
City officials opened Glenmore Reservoir gates to increase capacity and prepared for impacts like bank erosion and street flooding.
Though flooding risk remains, the 2013 damages of $6 billion have been reduced by 71% through flood control investments.
