US EditionHeavy Rainfall Prompts Boating Advisory for Calgary's Bow River
- Heavy rainfall over the weekend in Calgary prompted city officials to issue a boating advisory for the Bow River on Sunday due to unsafe flow conditions.
- The advisory was issued following approximately 75 millimetres of rain by mid-afternoon and when water flow above the junction with the Elbow River surpassed 280 cubic metres per second.
- The Calgary Fire Department has urged the public to avoid the Bow River until conditions improve, highlighting risks from murky water, rapid currents, and debris that pose dangers to all, regardless of experience or type of watercraft.
- Frank Frigo noted that 75 millimetres in one day is appreciable compared to a typical annual precipitation of 400 millimetres, and investments have reduced flood damage potential by 71 percent since 2013.
- Water levels and flows will continue to be monitored by the Water Security Agency, which plans to update the public as conditions evolve, while advising caution near all rivers and lakes due to rapidly changing flows and possible increased tributary and lake levels.
