I did a quick search around and couldnt see this posted anywhere yet. Pretty cool read and a really good case being made.
"South Saskatchewan River Basin Adaptation to Climate Variability Project
Bow River Basin Integrated River Management Business Case"
One little excerpt that caught my interest;
"The estimated annual incremental economic benefits of stabilizing Lower Kananaskis Lake are at least $2 million - $3 million with an estimated net present value between $30 million and $40 million"

Anyone heard if the power companies are starting to consider these kind of changes? Last i heard they'd be out about a half million bucks a year so would not consider it. I just figured a few others may enjoy the read, appologize if its been posted and i just couldnt find it.
